Business Description

Cheers! 
Ready-to-operate liquor distillery with on-site manufacturing and public tasting room. New building and equipment. This startup craft distillery is nestled in the Great Smoky Mountains region of East Tennessee in the Knoxville-Chattanooga area.  It occupies a state-of-the-art 5,200 sq. ft. facility built in 2024/25 and features a spacious 1,600 sq. ft. retail and tasting room, plus dedicated production space with 150-gallon and 270-gallon stills. Outside is a raised pavilion deck where entertainment may be enjoyed by all. You’ll produce high-quality hand-crafted spirits including Bourbon, Vodka, Gin, and many more, all meticulously distilled and bottled on-site with gorgeous labels. Every bottle tells a story of passion, precision, and pride. Then you'll offer handcrafted cocktails in the beautiful new Tasting Room.

Located adjacent to a thriving winery and restaurant (not included in the sale), the property benefits from strong tourist traffic and natural cross-promotion opportunities in this popular East Tennessee destination area. This is a turnkey start-up operation with modern equipment, premium inventory already on hand, and immediate revenue potential through the tasting room, local direct sales, and wholesale distribution channels. Tennessee’s self-distribution laws and the growing craft spirits market provide excellent flexibility to scale both locally and nationally.

Key Highlights:

• New facility with dedicated tasting room and outdoor pavilion
• On-site manufacturing and production capabilities
• Strong destination tourism draw from the surrounding area
• Ready for local retail, tasting room sales, and wholesale expansion
• Motivated neighboring seller prepared to support a smooth transition

If you’re an entrepreneur looking to enter or expand in the craft spirits industry, this is your chance to step into a modern, ready-to-run distillery in a destination location. Come see the property for yourself – the potential is clear.

Seller Motivation: The seller, focused on the adjacent winery and restaurant, seeks a buyer to take the distillery to new heights while remaining a collaborative neighbor for shared marketing and events.
