Offered on the Nantahala Gorge excursion, this shine and dine experience begins in a renovated First Class train fleet car, The Carolina Shine. The interior features copper lined walls filled with the history of moonshining in North Carolina.

Read about Swain County’s very own Major Redmond, the most famous mountain moonshine outlaw of the 19th century.
Once your appetite for knowledge is satisfied, enjoy sample tastings of flavors like Apple Pie, Blackberry, Blueberry, Cherry, Peach, and Strawberry moonshine. If the samples are not enough, there will be plenty of Moonshine infused cocktails like Copper Cola or Moonshiner’s Mimosa available for purchase. GSMR is excited to feature multiple craft NC based distilleries to serve our guests only the best! Each jar is handcrafted and authentically infused with real fruit, the way moonshine was meant to be made.

The Scatterlings are an acoustic/Americana band based in Asheville. The members share a fondness for songs about heartbreak, whiskey, and killings, although they promise they are actually all very peaceable people. Many of their original songs offer masterful personal storytelling, while others are steeped deep in local history. Deep in the setlist, if the stars align, a sprinkling of covers ranging from The Ramones to Gloria Gaynor may emerge, sometimes right on the heels of an old-time instrumental jam.
Join us at for an amazing summertime weekend in Asheville with an outstanding music line-up and a wide variety of vendors, at the SAHAE Expo.
