  • Wine or whiskey? 🍷 On @chattanoogaviptours Taste of the South experience, you can enjoy both.

Begin with a warm welcome on Station Street before heading to Georgia Winery for an exclusive tour, a full glass, four tastings, and a complimentary bottle. Back in Chattanooga, explore the historic Chattanooga Choo Choo, then visit the Chattanooga Whiskey Experimental Distillery for an in-depth tour and guided tasting. Finish with a memorable dinner at Nic & Norman’s, blending great food with Hollywood charm.

  • Tag your sunflower friend – the one who brings warmth, optimism, and joy into your life! 🌻🦋 

We loved spending golden hour in Aubie Smith Farms’ sunflower fields, and their butterfly release made the experience even more magical. Watching dozens of butterflies take flight and dance around the blooms is a memory we’ll never forget.

While tickets for the July 25 butterfly release are sold out, the farm still welcomes guests to witness as the next kaleidoscope fills the sky. Thanks to the sea of sunflowers, many of the butterflies stick around, giving visitors the chance to see them up close. 

Also, don’t miss U-pick season and the opportunity for fun photos! For $20, you can fill a bucket with as many blooms as you like. Just check the farm’s website for daily hours before you visit.
