The Appalachian 'Shine & Spirits tour was outstanding. We drove from Blacksburg and it was very convenient to have a parking and pickup point just off I-81. All three tour stops were uniquely engaging and interesting. The guide was very knowledgeable, attentive, and focused on making the trip enjoyable. There were a generous number of tastings at each stop, and even more variety than we expected. The historical aspect of the tour is fascinating, especially the hand-made still at Twin Creeks and the chance to talk to the owner/builder about his experience. It was also great to be able to relax and sample the drinks and atmosphere without having to worry about driving. The bus is a comfortable ride, even on the curvy rural roads. This tour is a unique experience and well worth the drive from the New River Valley.
This was a wonderful tour. So much history and lots of wonderful food options and drinks. A definite must-do!
