- James SSugarcreek Township, Ohio1,252 contributionsCheap Moonshine tasting.Many tasting facilities on the Park Way. From wine to moonshine to whiskey. Wine tastings were generally free. The others were $5 but gave you $5 coupons to buy merchandise. Sugarlands allowed you to use all at one time and combinable with the 10% discount coupons in the coupon books found everywhere. Great tasting of 13 different flavored moonshines. Since they have way more than 13, they change the tasting menu. This was definitely a fun experience with Ian.Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. It makes our day to read your kind words.

- Red-Super-HeroTampa, Florida328 contributionsGreat moonshine!We really enjoyed the $5.00 tasting. There are 12 different flavors to try. Plus your bartender tells jokes in between tasting. So you get to enjoy some shine and a show. There are so many flavors to choose from. The more you get the better the price. Plus some freebies included. Well worth the time.Thanks for stopping by our downtown Gatlinburg distillery and sampling our award-winning spirits. If there was anything we could’ve done to make your visit a 5-Star experience, please email us at info@sugarlands.com to help us continue to improve our distillery experience.

Their Moonshine Tasting was so much fun and a great deal! Only $5 for tasting 9 different types of moonshine and a great explanation of what we were drinking. Their cocktails are also delicious!

Went for some shine tastings, had a blast. Josh was our server, lots of fun, great guy. Love the way they do it here, it is in a circular area, not over crowded like other places. We had a really good time, Josh was a lot of fun,. everyone seemed to have a good time, even not knowing anyone else doing the tastings, everyone was friendly and having fun.

Maddison was great! We always ha e a blast at Sugarlands. Used to be our favorite distillery, but some of our favorite "bartenders" moved on, but we still enjoy Sugarlands. And the legacy moonshine was everything it was supposed to be.

Coming down next week, May 18 to 22 and Sugarlands is always a must for us, love everyone we've had as bartenders, particularly Rob and Peyton. My question is what drinks are currently on the menu at the cocktail bar out back as I know the change periodically.

Was just wondering how much over the drink drive limit you are after drinking all of the samples? I suppose its best to sample in the morning if you're spending the day in Gatlinburg.

There are many fun things to do within walking distance of our downtown Gatlinburg distillery! We recommend to take a tour of the town, grab some food, or partake in other fun experiences like the Gatlinburg SkyLift and SkyBridge after your tasting. We look forward to having you!
