Every year, Tennessee Wines hosts the Sip the Foothills at the Blount County campus of Pellissippi State Community College. This spring festival celebrates the best of Tennessee wine. Guests from across the region come to sample wines from local wineries, meet the makers behind the bottles, and enjoy a day full of flavor and connection. Live acoustic music sets the tone as attendees explore the tents, tasting a variety of wines and pairing them with bites from local food vendors. The campus offers a beautiful backdrop, with open green spaces and warm spring sunshine creating the perfect setting. From bold reds to crisp whites and fruity blends, every pour offers a glimpse into Tennessee’s growing wine scene.
Sip the Foothills isn’t just about tasting—it was a celebration of craftsmanship, community, and local pride. Tennessee Wines is proud to bring people together through events like this.
If Sip the Foothills sounds like your kind of event, be sure to follow Tennessee Wines on Facebook or Instagram for the latest updates. We’re excited to share that the festival will return in spring 2026! While the exact date hasn’t been announced yet, it will be released in the coming months, so keep an eye on our social channels to stay in the loop. You won’t want to miss another chance to sip, sample, and celebrate the best of Tennessee wine at the foothills of the Smoky Mountains.
