Pigeon Forge is family-friendly for sure, but some trips are just for the grown-ups. Try these five great ideas for an adult vacation!
1. Taste Tennessee Moonshine (and more)
A grown-up vacation calls for grown-up libations. Distilleries and wineries abound here in the Smoky Mountains--sample and tour to your taste buds’ content. Tennessee Shine Co., makers of whiskey, wine and moonshine, take you back in time with their History of Moonshine Tour, then whisk you back to today for free tastings. The Old Forge Distillery, in a historic barn, blends its products using locally grown corn ground in the Old Mill next door.
2. Dine Out
One delight of an adults-only trip is trying new foods. Gaucho Urbano Brazilian Steakhouse will make your mouth water with its modern take on traditional Brazilian cuisine. Luscious meats, carved right at your table, are the specialty, including steaks, lamb, pork, chicken and sausages.
A roaring fireplace, stone columns and wood beams make Bullfish Grill a romantic as well as tasty outing. Try Bullfish’s American fare, from spicy shrimp to prime rib to rich desserts. For casual dining on great appetizers, juicy burgers, steaks and chops, visit Local Goat. Belly up to their bar for craft beers and cocktails.
3. Relax with a Massage
Let a massage therapist melt your stress away. Whether you’re looking for a couples massage or spa treatments, Pigeon Forge offers plenty of options, including in-cabin massages. Smoky Mountain Massage will help you sleep better and reduce tension. B Blessed Spa specializes in couples massages in-cabin or at their spa.
4. Take In a Show
Pigeon Forge is famed for incredibly varied entertainment for all ages--adults included! Enjoy a three-course meal while you puzzle over “whodunnit” at The Great Smoky Mountain Murder Mystery Dinner Show. If you love to tap your toes, grab tickets for Country Tonite, where you’ll hear classic country and today’s hits. For a show like no other, don’t miss Paula Deen’s Lumberjack Feud, where real lumberjacks astound you with feats of skill and strength!
5. Enjoy “Cabin Time”
Stay in a cabin--get all the latest conveniences wrapped in rustic beauty! Romantic getaway? Snuggle by the fireplace with your honey. Girls’ or guys’ weekend? Fire up the grill and then eat on the deck while you relish the clean mountain air. Pick a cabin with a great game room and play pool, air hockey or arcade games.
