What People Say
Tennessee Homemade Wines… Our new favorite. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Was on our way out of town after a Valentine’s Day getaway and decided to stop by Tennessee Homemade Wines. They were recommended to us by a coworker and we were not disappointed. Alex V was our sampling host and we were able to try several different wines and honestly could’ve taken a bottle of each home. They were THAT good. Alex was very knowledgeable about the wines and how they were made plus he was tremendously entertaining which made an already enjoyable experience even more so. We will definitely be returning soon.
Will definitely return! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My family had a great time wine tasting with Brian Coopet! He explained every wine great & was so fun! We loved the experience. My mom who never drinks actually tasted the wine & really enjoyed it. The blackberry & peach wine were phenomenal!
