Experience the spirit of the Smokies at Sugarlands Distilling Company in downtown Gatlinburg. Since opening its doors in 2014, Sugarlands Distilling Company has become a popular stop along the Parkway for visitors looking to experience locally crafted moonshine, whiskey, and other spirits in a lively Smoky Mountain setting.
Step inside the barn-style distillery and discover a lineup that has grown to include more than 20 products, including Sugarlands Shine, Appalachian Sippin’ Creams, Roaming Man Whiskey, High Rock Vodka, and ready-to-drink cocktails.
One of the most popular ways to experience Sugarlands Distilling Company is with a guided tasting. Guests ages 21 and older can sample a rotating selection of moonshines and Sippin’ Creams while Sugarlands’ Tastemakers introduce the different flavors and share more about the spirits. The selections change regularly, giving returning visitors something new to discover.
Whiskey enthusiasts can explore Roaming Man, Sugarlands’ grain-to-glass whiskey crafted from locally sourced Tennessee grains. Roaming Man is pot distilled using an impressive copper pot still and patiently aged to develop its distinctive character.
For a deeper look at Sugarlands Distilling Company’s whiskey program, visit The Hidden Stave, a speakeasy-inspired experience located inside the distillery. Guests can enjoy premium craft cocktails, explore different expressions of Roaming Man Whiskey, or book special experiences that take a closer look at the distilling process. Select experiences even allow guests to fill, label, and wax-dip a personalized bottle to take home.
Visitors can also go behind the scenes with a Still House Tour to learn how Sugarlands’ award-winning spirits are produced at the Gatlinburg facility. Because the stillhouse is an active production space, tour availability varies, and reservations are recommended.
After your tasting, spend some time at the Back Porch cocktail bar, where Sugarlands spirits are transformed into specialty cocktails. Live entertainment and special events are also offered at select times, adding to the energetic atmosphere of the downtown distillery.
The Sugarlands experience is family-friendly, although guests must be 21 or older with a valid ID to participate in tastings or consume alcohol. The public areas are also dog-friendly, with leashed pets welcome everywhere except inside the stillhouse.
Sugarlands Distilling Company is located at 805 Parkway in downtown Gatlinburg. Whether you stop in for a moonshine tasting, explore Roaming Man Whiskey, enjoy a craft cocktail, or take a behind-the-scenes tour, Sugarlands offers several ways to experience the distilling traditions and flavors of the Smoky Mountains.
