Save the driving to the pros and we will just have fun! We get to ride in style on a luxury high top van or limo bus. This experience hits it all! Wine, Moonshine, Local cuisine, and Appalachian culture. Let the Husband/Wife team - Mike and Jenn (Hosts of the #1 rated Airbnb Experience Moonshine Walking tour) show you around Pigeon Forge. We are living our dream showing people this amazing town we came to love over 10 years ago after visiting just like you are! We meet up inside the Islands of Pigeon Forge. After this we will head to one of our favorite distilleries in the area. We will sample "grain to bottle" spirits from Vodka, Moonshine and Whiskey. Next you will be treated to an AMAZING lunch! No bagged lunch here! Fresh and awesome! We will be avoiding the tourist trap distilleries and take you to where WE shop! After lunch we head to a real hidden gem winery. Georgia's premier vineyard has just launched its first satellite location and its right in our town. This has become a group favorite! Many times we may see one of the founders! Believe it or not....we have another stop! We will head out in the van/bus to a true backwoods style moonshine distillery.

We will paint a beautiful painting in the wet on wet style that Bob Ross made famous. We will use only Bob Ross materials such as paint, brushes, and happy little sayings. You will leave with a finished painting that you are happy with or I will paint the entire painting for you! You will also be able to see the many originals that I have created and, get this, view 2 Steve Ross Original paintings. Yes, I own 2 of Bob's sons paintings. Oh, we also have 3 golden retrievers that will be happy to say hello to you while you are painting if you would like. Masks are no longer required but encouraged if you are not vaccinated. No, I will not ask for proof. I am fully vaccinated and will likely not wear one. If you need a different time than I have listed, just contact me and we will make it work. Lastly, everyone coming to our home for the experience needs to have paid for a spot. Please do not bring folks to tag along that have not paid.

We start by meeting under a covered pavilion to get checked in. After we give an informative overview and history of “Appalachia” wine/shine we will begin our tour. We will see working distilleries. You will have the opportunity to go behind the scenes and see exactly how their process works. After a short walk, we start off at an AMAZING distillery where we will taste a custom lineup just for us! At our next location we will get a true VIP experience at our favorite winery. Just remember...Tennessee does SWEET wines perfect We will take a short breather and talk history of the moonshine old timers. Even during the busiest times of the year this walk is beautiful and scenic and very few people even know it’s here. Once we arrive at our shine spot we get the full "VIP experience". After check-in, they will take you to an exclusive backstage tour of another working distillery (based on operating schedule). What better way to enjoy your tour then with a complimentary moonshine cocktail! Enjoy! It’s on me! If there is no tour, I will show the stills myself and answer questions. Next we will try some of the best moonshines ever made! Group size kept under 16! Don't see your dates? Large party? Message us!! 5* reviews DONT LIE! You'll have an AMAZING time. We will make sure of it! Check out my WINE/DINE/SHINE experience as well

We will meet at Keith's house in Pittman Center, have a quick orientation to the area and birding, and then head out on foot to explore the community of Emerts Cove, a section of Pittman Center, one of the richest bird areas in this part of Sevier County. We might elect to drive a short distance to a local pond and horse pasture which are often very rich in bird life. But for the most part, we'll walk for about 2.5 hours, maybe a bit more, and explore the wooded areas, forest edges, tree and hedgerows and grassy and weedy fields for a variety of bird life. Spring and summer are always better because migrant birds have returned from their wintering grounds to breed in this area and bird song is much richer. But autumn and winter are still great times to explore the bird life in Emerts Cove. During our walk, we can talk about rich history of Emerts Cove and Pittman Center as well as the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. FALL Songbird migration is a great time to look for migrants and winter birds from the NORTH are moving in! Spring and Summer bring early migrants and breeding birds. There is always an abundant richness of bird life in the area! After we have explored the area for about 2.5 - 3 hours, we'll return to Keith's home and depart. Other things to note We will walk rain or shine, cold or warm, unless it's pouring and we'll try to reschedule. Wear appropriate weather and climate gear. A hat always helps with sun and any insects, bring sunscreen.

Blacksmithing & Brews Here’s your chance to experience the basics of shaping hot steel with a hammer and anvil in our unforgettable blacksmithing workshop. You’ll fire up the forge with our seasoned educator Mo, who’s been teaching hands-on living history at Earthshine for over sixteen years. He’ll guide you every step of the way, helping you work a piece of rough steel into a one of a kind, hand crafted knife form you can take home. You’ll stoke the coal fire, hammer glowing metal straight from forge, and learn all kinds of history, lore, techniques, and tricks about the craft. After the workshop, you can enjoy a local brew on the front deck of our main lodge overlooking Pisgah National Forest and the Blue Ridge Mountains. You can take it easy, soaking up the mountain views while you sip, or work on refining your knife to transform its rugged, fresh-out-of-the-fire look to a smoother, cleaner finish. (We’ll provide the tools!) No experience is needed and all equipment is provided. Ages 13+ are welcome, but you must be at least 21 to be served beer. If you’re under 21, we’ll provide root beer or sparkling water. Each person participating will take home their own wrought iron crude knife form that can be used as a letter opener or simple spreading utensil.
