Their wines are
made at Mountain Valley Winery and the grapes come from a local
vineyard just down from Pigeon Forge, TN. The process that this
Pigeon Forge Winery uses is that at the peak of growth grapes
are plucked and crushed. Stainless steel pumps then filtered and
pumped into another tank where the yeast is added. Here, the
grape juice becomes wine. When the wine is ready to be bottled
case of empty bottles are lined up on a conveyer belt. The
bottling machine performs the steps of washing the bottles,
removing oxygen, pumping wine into the bottles and then corking,
labeling and cap sealing the bottles. All of this just minuets
from your Pigeon Forge Cabin.

word on it though. Next time you’re at a
