Discover a Feast for the Senses in Sevierville, TN

Nestled in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, Sevierville, Tennessee welcomes guests to enjoy autumn in all its glorious color (and flavor). Eight different self-guided historic driving tours wind their way through Sevierville and the surrounding community offering unparalleled views and opportunities to discover a taste of the Smokies.

Covered Bridges & Secret Recipes

Peak colors shine from mid-October through mid-November and make it a perfect time to check out the English Mountain Fall Driving Tour. Drive through one of the few remaining historic covered bridges in Tennessee then take a tour of Blowing Cave Mill. Built in 1795, and only recently brought back to life by a famous local candymaker, the homemade fudge, candies, and fresh baked goods are worth the trip. Finish the afternoon with a scenic drive to the home of Bush’s Baked Beans. Try and uncover the secret family recipe in their museum and grab a hearty, homemade lunch at the Bush’s Family Café.  

Moonshine & Revolution

With America’s 250^th birthday just around the corner, it’s only fitting to strike out on the Boyd’s Creek Fall Driving Tour. Explore a farming community dating back to the 1770s where the Revolutionary War Battle of Boyd’s Creek took place. See historic homes, the historic Island View School, and a “See Rock City” barn along the way. Near the midway point of your drive, make a detour to Mountain Cut Distillery. Sample fall spirits like Hot Cinnamon or Apple Pie Moonshine or try the Butter Pecan Crème Liqueur – perfect for a steaming hot cup of coffee. Billed as “top shelf shine,” their products contain no artificial colors or dyes.

Orchards & Steeples

Sevierville’s Apple Barn & Cider Mill is a working orchard pressing the most out of its apples every day. Not only can you watch the bakers at the Apple Barn create handmade fried apple pies and apple butters with their harvest, but you can also get a peek at how the Apple Barn Hard Cider House crafts a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic ciders with tasting notes such as honey basil, blueberry, and loganberry. Let this be among your first stops on the Steeples & Farmsteads Fall Driving Tour. Filled up on a traditional southern dinner at The Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant, wind your way along the backroads to explore picturesque cemeteries, pass a century farm, and visit the marker commemorating the Battle of Fair Garden, a small yet decisive Civil War battle.
