As well as being a very pretty place to see, a visit to some of the various wineries is a must. This area has a nice selection of wines. Tasty reds, to yummy Niagra (whites) to Blackberry wines.
This is a great place for the family holiday. See saltwater taffy being made in a candy store. Challenge the kids to a race in the go-carts. Have a look at the bears in Gatlinburg, but be sure to use the gondola to get there. Ice skate or go skiing down the hillside. Loads of gift stores to buy that special gift for someone back home.
