    This is one of the stops on the rocky top tasting trail which you can do for free. Five stops gets you this fun water bottle. You get 4 samples to choose from here plus their wine slushies. The Sangria wine slushie was the best followed by strawberry lemonade. I was not a fan of the Vino Rosso, it had an odd taste, but the black and blue was pretty good and I got that to go with the Sangria slushie mix. Service was great and our server was very nice and informative. I didn't enjoy these wines as much as I did the other stops, but the frozen slushies convinced me to get a bottle that's how good they were.

    We had such a fun time doing the Rocky Top Wine Trail over our visit and this was the last stop on our tour! We did the free sampling and then purchased a glass of wine to enjoy while we sat outside and took in the the amazing weather and views. We really enjoyed the wine that we tried and the employees were so friendly and helpful and even suggested some dinner ideas for us. We loved the cute butterfly mural they had outside and it was a great photo spot to commemorate our weekend in Pigeon Forge and completing the Wine Trail.

    Very nice spot, nice variety of flavors to suit everyone. I'm not typically a wine slushy fan, but I really liked the peach. Don't miss the photo op with the wings on the building. Done by the same local artist that designs their labels.

    These wines were trash, very syrupy and none were enjoyable in our tasting. The people are nice and all but we will not be back.

    What precautions have been taken in light of COVID?

    Is it dog friendly?

    I have been to the winery many times and have never seen animals. I'm sure service animals would be permitted but the front of the winery is a gift shop with lots of trinkets and knickknacks and I'm not sure a dog (outside of a service dog) would… Read more

    Coming to the Apple Barn is such a fun experience, they have gift shops, 3 restaurants, a creamery,…read morea winery and a cidery! The winery you get to sample 4 different wines of your choice for free. The best was the blueberry pomegranate wine slushie. So good! I enjoy the fruitier wines so if you do too you'll love it. Apple strawberry, apple with other flavors. It was all good. Make sure you get the FREE passport and get a stamp. If you go to three wineries on the trail you geta prize and you get a prize at the 5th stop. Two of the stops are on this site. Service was also great.

    We came back to Apple Barn Winery since we were in the area trying the restaurant and cider house…read more They allow you to try 4 wines for free, so here is what I tried: *Apple Strawberry - just okay, only a hint of strawberry *Apple Barn White - just okay. *Muscadine - this was my favorite before as it has a good muscadine flavor, and it is still a good one. *Apple Pomegranate - My husband tasted this one, and said it was really good. I was going to go in for a sip of his, mind you, the free tastings are tiny, so it's not like I was going to get a lot. I immediately got yelled at for no sharing - ironically other stops on the Rocky Top trail allow sharing. So, I ended up trying this one on my own, and it was my new favorite there. My husband also tried apple peach, apple blueberry and racoon red (blackberry, pomegranate, and watermelon), all three of which were okay to him, just did not have a whole lot of flavor. Overall, the wines here are just okay, there are definitely better wineries in the area. Service is definitely my main complaint. Here and at the cider house, they were just not good. Between the I could care less to be here and let me get you through this tasting and yelling at me attitude, we left without purchasing anything as it left a poor taste in my mouth. Service would have changed everything for me to support with a purchase of a bottle. Go if you please, but it's not a place I care to go back.
