Tennessee Stud Cider

Tennessee Stud Cider brings something different to Gatlinburg's beverage scene, earning a strong 4.7-star rating from 90 reviewers as both a cidery and a wine tasting room. Gatlinburg sits at the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and it draws a wildly diverse crowd of hikers, families, honeymooners, and general tourists year-round. A cidery in this setting fills a real gap for visitors who want a craft beverage experience but aren't necessarily wine drinkers. The dual cidery and tasting room format means there's genuinely something for everyone in your group.

Tennessee Stud Cider operates as both a cidery and a wine tasting room, giving guests two distinct categories of beverages to explore in one visit. On the cider side, you'd typically sample small-batch hard ciders made from local apples, which are abundant in the Appalachian region and form the backbone of a great East Tennessee cider. The wine tasting room component means you can also work through a selection of wines alongside the cider options, making it easy for a group with mixed preferences to all find something they enjoy. Staff can usually guide you through the differences and help you find your favorites.

Tennessee Stud Cider is located in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, putting it right at the doorstep of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It serves visitors from across the tourist corridor, including those staying in Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, and the surrounding mountain communities.
