Apple Barn Winery: Handcrafted Apple Wines in Sevierville

Apple Barn Winery offers a distinctive take on Tennessee wine at 220 Apple Valley Road in Sevierville, inside the historic Apple Barn Village. Instead of making its wines primarily from grapes, the winery handcrafts wines from locally and regionally sourced apples, creating a tasting experience that feels closely connected to the surrounding orchard setting.

About Apple Barn Winery

Apple Barn Winery’s signature approach is right in the name: apple wine. The winery handcrafts its wines on-site using apples, including fruit grown in the orchards surrounding Apple Barn Village. Its lineup includes apple-based and fruit wines, along with seasonal flavors that are available for a limited time.

The winery is located along the Little Pigeon River within Apple Barn Village, where guests can combine a wine tasting with time at the neighboring Apple Barn shops, restaurants, cider house, bakery, and other local businesses. That makes it particularly convenient for groups who want to turn a tasting into part of a longer afternoon rather than making a separate trip just for wine.

Apple Barn Winery also offers a gift shop, wine accessories, wine by the glass, and wine slushies. Guests can take advantage of complimentary tastings during store hours, while a video tour and glass viewing area offer a little more insight into how the wine is made.

Why Guests Love It

• Apple wine is the specialty: The winery offers a different experience from traditional grape-focused wineries, with handcrafted wines made from apples.
• Free tastings: Guests can sample the wines before choosing a bottle to take home.
• Seasonal flavors: The winery encourages visitors to ask about seasonal wines, which may only be available for a limited time.
• Part of Apple Barn Village: A wine tasting can easily be combined with nearby shops, restaurants, the cider house, and other Apple Barn experiences.
• Wine slushies: For something more casual, guests can ask about wine slushies by the glass.
• A relaxed setting: Outdoor and indoor seating, the riverside setting, and the surrounding orchard landscape make it an easy place to slow down during a Sevierville outing.

Ask about seasonal flavors. Apple Barn Winery specifically highlights seasonal, one-of-a-kind flavors, so the selection may be different depending on when you visit.
