Apple Barn Dessert Wine Shoppe — Attraction in Sevierville

We recently stopped by Apple Barn Hard Cider. We have not been since they have moved into a beautiful new large building. Their old spot has changed into hard slushies.

We decided to pay for the premium tasting to try all flavors.

Flavors: *Sip Gingerly (ginger) - I remember this one from before. It is definitely strong in ginger, and similar to a gingerale. *The South (green apple) - this one was just okay. *Honey Basil (honey & basil) - I didn't care for the basil, so I was not a big fan. My husband liked this one more than me. *Red Lemonhead (strawberry lemonade) - this one was good, tasted exactly as described, just like a strawberry lemonade. *Bluebarb (blueberry & rhubarb) - this one has always been my favorite, and it is still my favorite. *Simply Muscadine (muscadine) - this was very strong in muscadine, but it was still enjoyed. It was my husband's favorite of the day. *Midnight Blue (blueberry) - this one was just okay. *Blissful Berry (raspberry & rhubarb) - this one was just okay. *Blood & Roses (blood orange & rosemary) - I did not enjoy this one as I did not like the rosemary in it. My husband liked this one more than me. *Sweet Caroline - a nice, sweet cider that I really enjoyed. *Hop Zen (grapefruit) - this one was just okay.

Favorites for me were Bluebarb, and Sweet Caroline.

The only dislikes - they don't carry all of the ciders in bottles, some are only on tap and can be filled in growlers, which is not great for traveling to have at a later date. Like another reviewer stated, I preferred when they did cans, sometimes you just don't want a full bottle. I did not care for the service, it was just over the top, show like and sales pitch like throughout the tasting - join our club, buy this to get that, etc. It was a turnoff and did not make me enjoy the tasting.

I would still recommend to stop by if you are in the area to try...

Literally the BEST restaurant in TN! The food was fresh and delicious!!!

My husband and I have been here a few times and they keep us coming back for their mouth watering food, the serving sizes are perfect! I have added a few pictures from our visits 😁

The country fried chicken is phenomenal! The appetizers -among the many foods- the broccoli cheddar soup will leave you wanting more, but yet needing to save room for the rest to come!😋 I can't describe the southern banana pudding... other than YOU'VE GOT TO TRY IT! 🤤 I love the country home atmosphere.. and the Swing seat and table!! 😃🥰🤭 It is sooo captivating with the southern hospitality, food, sweet tea and overall dine-in ☺️ Staff is courteous and so friendly ((loved our server, Cheyenne -🥰 Thank you!!))

If you're ever in Tennessee, make it a point to go by and take advantage of this restaurant you won't be disappointed! If you leave hungry, it'll be your own fault! 😉

They also have others shops that are apart of the whole "Apple Barn experience"- candy, bakery, wine, and a few other shops along side their restaurant you'll want to take a stroll around! I LOVE THIS PLACE!! My husband and I will continue and willing to drive 2 hours just to eat and browse here for our dates ❤️ Can't say it enough.. we ❤️...

I've been to The Apple Barn before and I will definitely go again it's always such a nice little treat. On the little strip they have there's two restaurants on each end. I have a ice cream shop a winery they're regular shop and More. This time at the restaurant we were going to try splitting the chicken salad and fruit but I'm assorted and got the country chicken salad so we just ate what we got it was honestly my fault I should have been clear about what I wanted. Me and my friend split the cup of broccoli soup that came with it and it was some of the best soup I've ever had so if you like broccoli soup you need to try it. And the salad was really good but the best part was their honey mustard sauce it was really good. But yeah they're Apple Barn store they have a little bakery so you can get bread you can get apple butters they have sugar free apple butter and they have other little knick knacks for your kitchen and tableware but it's a whole experience and it's honestly not that expensive so it's a little trip that pretty much anyone can do. And I did see someone there with a wheelchair so it is wheelchair accessible if anyone...
