Things to Do in the Blue Ridge

Wineries and tastings in Great Smoky Mountains

Great Smoky Mountains National Park straddles the Tennessee and North Carolina line and is the most visited national park in the country. The Tennessee side has busy tourist towns and theme parks, the North Carolina side has quieter mountain towns and river rafting. Vineyards with mountain views are a growing part of the region, especially around Charlottesville and in north Georgia. Many have tasting rooms open on weekends.
