Two friends and I had a tasting on Sunday the 13th, 2026. Unfortunately, I've forgotten the name of the young man who was working that day and poured for us. He was an absolute delight and had a wealth of knowledge about every spirit that we tried. Then he took great pictures of our little group. As for the quality of the products, they were exceptional. We all made purchases. One friend lives in the area and the other two of us are from Minnesota, so the purchases were worth wrapping and packing in our suitcases. Loved the building and the careful presentation of the products. Great experience and will stop there again if I make it to the area. read more

Had a tasting with my family. Even the drinks we did not care for personally were excellent quality regardless. We also ate at the restaurant and were impressed by service and again, quality. Wish the BBQ had been more open but they do most of the smoking and BBQ on weekends apparently. read more

First and foremost this facility and ground are gorgeous! Abundant views! We came first thing at 11am on a Saturday, and went upstairs for food and drinks. Service was okay, waitress didn't seem overly thrilled to wait on us or even be there. Food was simply okay. We had handhelds, the wings (had hot and it simply was not), and burnt ends skewers. All was... fine. Nothing to entice us to order more as a table of 5 which was our intention. Beers were okay. Mixed drink was great - loved the bourbon and lemon! Downstairs were given samples of some of the spirits. The guy helping us here was great and helpful. Overall enjoyed the visit but don't think I'd go again. read more

Tennessee Hills Distillery is a great spot for creative cocktails and beautiful views. We sat outside on the balcony overlooking the Tennessee hills, with the sunset in the background, and the scenery alone made the visit worthwhile. I ordered the Lavender Lemon Honey Tini, made with Tennessee Hills Lavender Lemon, lavender syrup, honey syrup, lemon juice, and soda water, garnished with a lemon wheel. It was delicious--sweet, refreshing, and easily my favorite drink of the night. My date had the Raspberry Kiss, made with Tennessee Hills Lemon Vodka, raspberry purée, lemon juice, and pineapple juice. The flavor was good, although it tasted a bit diluted as the ice melted. The biggest drawback was the service. We had to ask three separate times for water, and it ultimately arrived from a different server rather than our waitress. read more

It was my first time visiting and eating at Tennessee Hills Distillery in Bristol, VA. We loved the decor which consisted of barrel lights, signage, and interesting details. We opted to sit outside on the deck with a magnificent view. As soon as our food arrived so did the bees so we moved indoors. They had several large tvs on, a restroom available, plenty of seating and a bar area. We enjoyed eating the onion petals, chips and dips and three brisket sliders with caramelized onions and bacon jam. The waitress was very helpful. The only thing to mention would be seeing homemade chips provided which would elevate the appetizer. We would come back again. read more

This is the perfect stop if you are passing through the area. What we liked the most about Tennessee Hills is the food along with the drinks. It's nice when you can stop at a distillery, winery, brewery and have food with your drinks and the food is VERY GOOD here. The views are stunning! The parking lot was large enough to fit our 46 foot fifth wheel plus some but the entire lot is not all gravel so be mindful of that. Very peaceful and quiet when everything winds down. We did park during the week and not the weekend so not sure what the weekend sound would be like. The host and employees were very friendly. They also offer a military discount! Would definitely recommend if you are passing through this area. read more

Really fun bourbon/whiskey tasting.... And food was delicious.... Service exceptional... ask for Tasha, she's awesome!

They are celebrating one year, and it looks like everything has been a success. It's packed tonight and everyone is having a great time. The food and beer are excellent, and so is the service. The brisket was particularly great, and so were the cheese curds. The outside seating is very nice. read more

This place is absolutely gorgeous exterior and interior. I was in town for work and they had a food truck event. After asking some people to see if you could take your food upstairs or order inside (dogs allowed). I would recommend putting some signs out so visitors know. This is where it took a drastic turn. The two hosts were phenomenal clearing and seating people. The servers however are not on the same level. After sitting for about 10 minutes we stopped one person and we were informed that we were not in her section. 15 minutes later our server appeared and we got a beer each. We were about to leave we had already agreed. She promptly disappeared again after bringing our drinks. One of the hosts had to find her for us to cash out. The wings looked amazing. Definitely bring your patience and check out this amazing spot. read more

We stopped here on our way to Bristol. Tge food was great. It has a really nice outdoor patio seating area. And an indoor bar. And really friendly staff. I wanted to get a shirt, but decided to get it on our way home. Guess who forgot to stop in on our way home. Oh well I'll get one next time. read more

A great place to visit to try their award winning liquor, as well as cocktails and delicious food. There's plenty of parking. There are two levels and there's an elevator. On the lower level if the distilling operation, tasting room, merchandise, and an outdoor bar area. Upstairs is an indoor bar with dining room, as well as an outdoor patio and dining area. We did the tasting which you have to sign up using a QR code. It's $5 per person plus a $1.30 service fee. They do give you a $6 off coupon at the end that you can use in the shop which was a nice added bonus. Highly recommend the tasting. It's not just whiskey, but also gin, rum, vodka, and cream liquors. You will be surprised at some of the flavors. There are tons of options for merchandise as well. The shirts are super affordable and well made. Listen carefully, there are chocolate whiskey balls in the fridge area. Get these! Get one for every person you know. They are tasty. They are also available upstairs in the restaurant area. Upstairs we had food and drinks. The Purple Jesus was delicious. All of the concoctions were tasty. Then, we ordered lots of food. We had pulled pork, mini corn dogs, burnt pork belly bites, brisket and tacos. Absolutely amazing. The brisket melts in your mouth. We will be dreaming about the pork belly bites. Literally the best I have ever had. Will be dreaming of these. They do bring two types of BBQ sauce to the table as well. Everyone was great that worked here. Very friendly and very knowledgeable of their items available. Shout out to Sam in the tasting room! He was great. This place is a vibe! Don't miss out. We left with bags full of fun things, new bottles for the liquor cabinet, full bellies, and lots of smiles. read more

We love touring local distillers. They have their own take on various alcohol and it is fun to compare. This distillery is really a top notch presentation of their goods. Located in a scenic location above Bristol Tennessee, the outdoor patio view while sipping is perfect. The distillery inside is very well done, with the wood and industrial look. We did the sampling which included 12 tastes from bourbons, vodka, gin and flavored variations. The different distillation were well explained and any questions answered. We then went to the upstairs bar for food and taste some of the many beer offerings. The food was very good and there was a beer for every taste. If you come to the Bristol area, make sure to stop on in! read more

We had an absolutely fabulous time here today. Unfortunately there were no tours going on because it was a Monday but Kate gave us the most informed tasting before we headed upstairs to enjoy some cocktails on the patio. If I was a local I'd be be here every day it's absolutely gorgeous, the drinks were delicious, and the staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. read more

So this is similar to the Jonesville location as they have a tasting and shop area (downstairs) and they have a area to order a drink and get food from a food truck (upstairs). If you get a table a server will come around to get your drink order. If you want food your menu has a number on the front and you scan the QR code to place your order; the food truck will bring your food to your table. It was Day 1 when they opened, and it was filled with people. People were taking chairs from other tables to expand their seating; when we arrived seating wasn't available at the table we found but we enjoyed a beer and took off. read more

Just left and I'm stuffed! We sat outside, upstairs with a nice view. Burnt end skewers were filling! Fried pickles were the best I've had and hubby's chefs sandwich was huge. Glad we stopped to try something new. Dropped some coin in gift shop on gifts. read more

Food was great, had the family meal with the burnt ends, chicken, and brisket and it fed my wife and I and two little girls. Service was good and prompt. We sat outside with a gorgeous view.

My wife and I stopped in for lunch. The special on a Friday was fish and chips. Specials are supposed to be a little cheaper anyways it was $15 apiece. Drenched and fried oil in fact you could probably change your car oil and get less out of it and you would use the same kind of utensils that you found when you were in grade school Little packet of salt little packet of pepper and a knife that bent when I try to cut the fish. The whole meal with tip and all was $43 for lunch. I wouldn't suggest anybody go there for lunch it was the worst I've ever had and I won't be returning again. They didn't have iced tea. They were just pushing Coke products and alcohol. read more

Tennessee Hills Distillery - Nice to be after I cut into the fish plastic knives that have no strength through them whatsoever. - Distilleries Near Me - Bristol, Tennessee

What a stunning distillery this is. Very classy yet laid back! We came to Bristol for race and figured we'd try something new.. very glad we did! You walk in and go around stairs and it opens up into gift shop/ tasting area. This spot we were told opened just after Thanksgiving 2024. The staff here were so warm and inviting and helpful. We stopped to do free liquor tasting and had great conversation/ history of distillery. They had bourbon, whiskey, gin, rum, creams to try. Flavors were wonderful and some unexpected.. our bartender gave us ideas what to mix with different liquor but also you could honestly just pour over ice and enjoy! After our tasting we wanted to go upstairs try beers and done food but I wanted to go see views of mountain ranges off back patio.. we walked out and to right was their cooking area for restaurant which was smokers and pizza ovens.. Aiden saw us walk out and invited us over to see how things are cooked.. huge smokers smelled so good! They smoke wings briskets pork butts just lots of stuff.. made me hungry! Aiden was friendly, informative and meeting him was a pleasure! He also told us about the other locations and events going on this weekend! Soooo upstairs we went into restaurant! Stunning! We were seated wherever we wanted and were greeted immediately by our waitress. She was patient being it was our first trip in and had no idea where to start. I tried few beers but just didn't feel it so I got mixed drink..she was very helpful giving us idea choices .. hubby got 3 kinds smoked wings I got burnt end tacos! My god!!!!!!! The wings had a slight smoky crunch but delicious flavors ! The burnt ends I could have snacked on all day without tacos lol.. they are doing the dang thing here they really are! We had a great experience and highly recommend this place! read more

Foods awesome. Great atmosphere. Good drinks. I would definitely bring friends here. Great view off the deck.

First time we went it was date night with my better half. Unsure of what to expect. What we found was amazing BBQ, unbelievable service, and oh yeah great beer. (Wife had mixed drinks). It was so good we went back 4 days later, then a week after that. Not complaining about eating leftovers lol. read more

Good food and a unique vibe. The service was real good and there is an upstairs bar and eating area and a tasting room downstairs.

I go here for wings all the time. Unreal wings! Last time I was there there were a ton of people, but Montana and Ruby handled it perfectly. It's some of the best service I've ever had. It wouldn't be Tennessee hills distillery without Montana and Ruby read more

Nice new distillery with lots of products. Customer service was friendly. The location is huge and on a hill side with decent views.

Bad service. Our server forgot some of our order and she never made sure it came to us. We never got it. There was a band playing down on the lawn and she had no clue who it was. read more

The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. They have a great selection of spirits and the bar was comfortable to sit in.

Tasting is great and food is good but service is awful. Been upstairs twice and both times, never get wait staff. Unfortunate because liquor is good and beers are good, but service is terrible read more
