Our tour guide Jack was great. He talked about different attractions, food eateries, and kept us laughing.
The customer service at Tennessee Shine Co. was the best. All the staff was very courteous, willing to answer questions, and helped when needed. Big Sexy kept us laughing and having fun. He definitely sold us on the moonshine.

This is an organized tour of already free tastings available throughout the city. So you’re really just paying for the designated driver we had Pam as a driver and she was outstanding It was a nice time. Was expensive for what it was in my opinion.

Jack was amazing! Very knowledgeable about the city and the wineries and distilleries he took us! Will be recommended him to others!

The driver was great. Pam took us all over it was great time.We met some very sweet and kind people who ended up going to dinner with us afterwards. But the tours were not all included in the price. For as much as you pay for the ticket to have a ride to each place it’s not very fair that you have to pay for the tastings that should be included. I would double check before booking to see how much each tasting is going to be. Also we didn’t make everyone stop that was advertised on the tour, but we hit a couple that weren’t on there but they were fun.

Everything was great! The tour guide was awesome and the drinks were great. It was lots of fun and a great experience
Brena_L, Oct 2025
Very nice driver, we did visit six places, shared areas of interest with us... I would like to send some more scenery in our trip so possibly going to wineries outside the main drag even if it meant going to less ones, maybe like four wineries in the same amount of time but showing us more of the countryside
Celeste_W, Sep 2025
Jack was our guide and he was so sweet! He went above and beyond for my group and the other group we ended up on the tour with. We had lots of fun trying all the goodies this tour had to offer
Pamela_F, Aug 2025
Lots of moonshine and not enough wine and no whisky was included in this tour. It was great to have a driver take us to the various stops but this tour can also be done on your own since all these distilleries offer free tastings all day long. ID is required. the bartenders in the different distilleries have a lot of personality and made it a fun experience. This would be much improved if food was offered along with the alcohol. We skipped the last distillery and chose to have ice cream instead across the street.

Our driver Dustin was friendly and knowledgeable. He was able to provide us and experience that we will remember. Thank you
Sherry_G, Jul 2025
Totally amazing! Very professional but made you feel at ease, our tour guide Pam was very sweet and knowledgeable. If your rating system went to a 20 star that's what we would rate it. Again we had a wonderful time. And would love to thank you for just taking my husband and I around yesterday when y'all didn't have to you could have canceled again thank you especially to Pam you were wonderful! Sherry and Harold Griffith

Kelli_L, May 2025
Knowledgable tour guide, variety of tastings, wonderful group of people to taste with! I would recommend!
Alisha_S, Apr 2025
The wines were great. The Tennessee shine Co. Stop with wild Bill was the best stop. The chilled shine made all the difference for taste. The meeting location was a little challenging to locate. The driver was very nice and made our travels easy and pleasant. The apple Co. Did not offer the tasting that's advertised.
Dawn_C, Feb 2025
Great time! Driver was nice and drove safely. Better than expected. I would recommend this tour to friends and family.
Georgiana_L, Feb 2025
Listen! Ah Time was Had! This tour was soooo much fun! Even though we came in the off season( February 1st), the drinks were flowing and we were definitely entertained. We would not have been able to stand if the tour was 12 stops! Gladly it was 4 stops and two optional at the end. Note bring crackers,chips,or bread! You’ll thank me later! We will definitely do this again but we’re dragging friends and family with us!

We waited at the meeting place for an hour & no one showed up. Called the # 4-5x with no answers.
Want immediate refund.

We want to clarify that our team did make multiple attempts to reach you prior to the tour's departure and on the day of, via both phone and email, using the contact information provided with your booking.

For the benefit of future guests, we always strongly encourage providing a phone number and email address that will be actively monitored during your visit. This allows us to quickly communicate any last-minute changes or issues that may arise, ensuring everyone has the smoothest possible experience.

Pam was so wonderful driving us around. We love her!!!! Very informative and helpful and considerate. On the contrary, Sally couldn’t hold a candle to Pam🤷♂️
Daria_H, Oct 2024
This experience was awful! Entire family came down with Covid. Had to cancel tour, vacation and travel home sick from Tn to Pa. All company cares about is collecting your MONEY! They also put the charge thru days before your tour takes place! In addition, Explanation of our situation to the company resulted in a Rude Response. Unreal! NO REFUND regardless of situation. $690 down the drain!
Response from Host, Jun 2025
We are truly sorry to hear that your vacation and tour plans were disrupted due to illness, especially with your entire family. We understand that getting sick while traveling and having to cancel plans is a very difficult situation, and we sympathize with the stress and disappointment this must have caused for your trip.
We want to clarify our cancellation policy, which is clearly stated and agreed upon at the time of booking. For tours, especially those for larger groups like yours (10 people) during peak holiday weekends, we hold those seats specifically for your party, making them unavailable for other bookings. Cancelling within a few hours of the tour's start time, as occurred in this instance, makes it impossible for us to re-sell those reserved seats.
Our policy of no refunds for cancellations within 24 hours of the tour departure is in place precisely because of this operational reality. To provide a solution, we offered a gift card for the full value of your booking. This gift card offers flexibility, allowing you to rebook a tour on a future visit to the area, or to transfer it to friends or family. We regret that this solution was not acceptable to you at the time.
While we sincerely regret that your family fell ill and had to miss your tour, upholding our published policy ensures fairness to all our guests and allows us to operate sustainably. We are not an airline with standby options, and last-minute cancellations directly impact our ability to cover operational costs for seats held for months.
We understand this was a frustrating experience for you, and we truly wish your trip hadn't been impacted by illness.

Carley_R, Sep 2024
My husband really enjoyed his self of the tour, so did I. If we ever come back we plan todo another tour.
Alexis_J, Sep 2024
This was a blast. We have approx 20 people within our group. One was a birthday celebration. Another was an adult get-away. The other party was a bachelorette party. Then of corse we were the honeymooners. Such a great time! The guide was great as well! 10/10 would recommend!!
DLane_C, Aug 2024
We had a great time on this tour! I loved the variety of places we visited and the discounts we got for being part of the tour group. All of the distilleries were expecting us and ready when we arrived. Our guide, Pam, was fun, friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely do this tour again on a future trip. We came home with LOTS of liquid souvenirs, lol.
David_K, Aug 2024
Pam was great and very informative. Nice she knew where we were going and able to give us suggestions for what to try.
Tanya_B, Aug 2024
Too long of a day realize you will be gone for 4 hours I wish I could have asked the driver to take us back half way through the tasting as an option
Response from Host, Jun 2025
We appreciate your feedback regarding the length of our Famous Moonshine & Wine Tour.
Our tour description does state that the experience is approximately 4 hours long. We design our itinerary to ensure guests have ample time at each of the multiple distilleries and wineries included on the tour, allowing for full enjoyment of the tastings and atmosphere at each stop.
We understand that personal preferences for tour duration can vary, and some guests might prefer a shorter experience. While our scheduled tour runs for the full duration, it's true that guests who wish to depart early often utilize ride-share services like Uber from one of our stops to return to their starting point.
We always aim to provide a clear expectation of the tour's length so guests can plan their day accordingly. Thank you for your review.
Camryn_J, Jul 2024
Me and my friend happened to be the only ones on the tour so we really got to enjoy everything at our own pace. Pam, our tour guide was absolutely amazing, she spoke about more than the tour and gave us suggestions for other attractions around the town and just made sure we had an enjoyable time while with her.
Kelly_N, Jul 2024
We had a great time! Everything was perfect and easy. You will definitely get drunk on this tour if you participate in all the stops and samples!!
Megan_B, Jul 2024
Pam was a great tour guide. She was very nice and told us all the great wines and moonshines at every stop. We had a great time on the moonshine and wine tour!
