The brewery has a great rooftop atmosphere that's perfect for relaxing with a drink while taking in downtown Bryson City. They also host live music, although we weren't able to stay long enough to catch the performance. The highlight of our visit was definitely the bartender. I wish I remembered their name because they were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They took the time to recommend drinks, suggest places around Bryson City to explore, and even gave us recommendations for campgrounds where we could stay that night. Those kinds of interactions are what make traveling so memorable. We had originally planned to grab food from the restaurant downstairs, but that didn't work out during our visit. Thankfully, the brewery itself more than made up for it with its relaxed atmosphere and outstanding hospitality. If you're looking for a laid-back rooftop spot to enjoy a local beer, listen to live music, or chat with friendly locals while exploring Bryson City, Mountain Layers Brewing Company is definitely worth a stop. We'd happily grab another drink here the next time we're in town.

I wish the best of luck for continued success to this winery and hope we can visit again!

To begin with, this is one of the most unwelcoming places we have visited…read more We wanted to enjoy an afternoon of wine sampling but changed our minds quickly after entering the facility. A little customer service etiquette and a simple smile would have been a start. The woman who came to meet at us at bar seemed like we were putting her out and being a big bother just to be asking her a question. I don't see how this place could get a rating of 5 when it is so uncomfortable to even enter the premises!! Need to give education on how to welcome people in and present the wines and make us feel comfortable!! We made a long drive for absolutely nothing; have been to many wineries and breweries in areas around Tenn, NC, & Ga. And cans rate them all a 5!! Very miserable experience; glad we walked out before even sitting down!! Can't even rate this place - it's pathetic!! The one star rating should be a -1 !!

I had some spots in Maggie Valley bookmarked, so I made my way to the charming little hamlet. I initially wanted to get food and drink at the local brewery, but despite Yelp and Google saying they were open....that was not the case at all. So...just a little ways up the road was my other bookmarked place: B & C Winery. The whole of Maggie Valley seemed to be a bit deserted, but the winery (which also houses a pharmacy...weird, but you know...small town charming!) was open and I had the place to myself. The woman working greeted me right away and gave me a rundown of what I could do for a tasting while I looked over the multiple rows of offerings. There is almost too much to choose from, but you are sure to find something (or rather, several somethings) in your preferred sweetness or flavor palate. I enjoyed my tasting, enjoyed chatting with the proprietor and learning about the business, and I happily left with a couple bottles of wine to come home with me. I'm not sure I would encourage you to go too far out of your way to stop here. But if you were in the general area or passing through, it is definitely worth a little visit.
