Harnessing the Fruit Flavors of the Smoky Mountains

Guests at Mountain Valley Winery can sample the watermelon wine, and then take home a bottle of the sweet vino. This top seller deserves a spot in any wine enthusiast’s cellar.
In addition to rhubarb, blackberry, peach, and other fruit flavors like muscadine, Mountain Valley Winery offers some surprising flavors too.
