Fall Is Better in the Smokies

There’s something about fall in the Smoky Mountains. The ridges turn shades of red, orange and gold, the air gets a little cooler, and suddenly everything tastes better with a little cinnamon, maple, pumpkin or spice.

At Old Forge Distillery, we’re leaning all the way into the season with fall spirits, handcrafted cocktails, live music and plenty of reasons to pull up a seat and stay awhile.

Sip Into the Season

Our fall cocktail menu takes some of our favorite flavors of the season and gives them an Old Forge twist. Sip on the bourbon-forward Sage & Maple, indulge in our Dubai chocolate-inspired Buzzed in Dubai, or try seasonal favorites like the Pumpkin Margarita, Harvest Mule, Fireside Chai, Not Hot Chocolate and Amaretto Autumn. From pumpkin and maple to chai, cranberry, chocolate and warm fall spice, there’s a little something for every kind of fall sipper. 

Saturdays on the Patio

Fall weekends are made for the mountains. Join us every Saturday for live music on the patio, grab a cocktail from the bar and settle in for an afternoon in the heart of Pigeon Forge. Add free spirit samples, seasonal flavors and a front-row seat to fall in the Smokies, and you’ve got a pretty good way to spend a Saturday.

A Mill-Made Fall

A visit to Old Forge is just one part of a full fall day at The Old Mill.

Wander through the Scarecrow Stroll, take in the fall colors along the Little Pigeon River, shop seasonal favorites, explore nearly 200 years of history at the historic gristmill, grab a bite, and then make your way over to Old Forge for a tasting or cocktail.

It’s all part of A Mill-Made Fall—food, craft, heritage and generations of Smoky Mountain tradition, all in one place.

Come Stay Awhile

Stop in for free spirit samples, discover a new fall favorite, grab a cocktail and enjoy the season with us in the heart of Pigeon Forge.

Because fall in the Smokies isn’t something you rush through.

You sip it. You savor it. You make a day of it.

There’s no need to drive to Gatlinburg to purchase alcohol in Sevier County.

No matter what you call it—an ABC store, package store, or liquor store—look no further than Old Forge Distillery in Pigeon Forge, TN for all your distilled spirits.
