There is an endless amount of fun and romantic things to do in the Smoky Mountains. However, the trick to picking the right activity for your romantic Gatlinburg vacation is to make sure that you pick things to do that help build a connection between you two.

A few of our favorite things to do in the Smoky Mountains during a romantic getaway include:

Enjoying either a moonshine or wine tasting

What says romance more than enjoying a wine or moonshine tasting in either Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg. Not only do you get to sample the many incredible flavors found in the Smoky Mountains, but it is also a good way to loosen up and let go of stress.

Hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Imagine, just you and your loved one alone exploring the beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains. Here, you all can laugh, talk, and have fun with one another without any distractions.
Ride The Great Smoky Mountain Wheel at The Island in Pigeon Forge
With its all-glass gondolas and scenic mountain views, The Great Smoky Mountain Wheel at The Island in Pigeon Forge is one of the most scenic attractions in the area. At night, this attraction is particularly stunning when the outside lights up with millions of synchronized LED lights that can be seen for miles around.

Whatever you choose, all that matters is that you are allowing yourself the opportunity to reconnect and be together.
