Your first stop is Overmountain Vineyards & Winery, a family-owned artisanal winery and commercial vineyard. While the tasting might not be complimentary, it is well worth the stop. The vineyards were planted on hillsides to produce low yields with high-quality fruit.

The winery takes this wonderful fruit and creates handcrafted wines. Overmountain Vineyards features an intimate tasting room with a wraparound porch overlooking 18 acres of vineyards and breathtaking mountain views.

Frank and Lita Lilly planted Overmountain Vineyards in 2002. Years later, their whole family is involved with their daughter, Lily, becoming the Winemaker.
