Imagine cruising through Tennessee’s rugged backcountry in an open-air side-by-side (SXS) vehicle, stopping at charming wineries surrounded by scenic hills and lush vineyards. That’s precisely what this 4 Hour Can-Am Experience to Hampshire Wineries offers—an exciting blend of adventure, authentic wine tasting, and small-group camaraderie.
Many travelers love that this tour avoids the crowded tourist scene, instead focusing on exploring local wineries with a knowledgeable guide. The experience feels both fun and relaxed, giving you a taste of rural Tennessee that’s often missed by traditional tours.
One possible consideration? The rugged terrain and open-air ride mean you’ll want to be comfortable with a little dirt and adventure. It’s not a refined limousine experience but rather a lively, hands-on journey through the countryside.
This tour is ideal for those who enjoy outdoor adventures combined with wine tasting, particularly if you value small-group intimacy and personalized attention. Perfect for couples, groups of friends, or anyone craving a taste of local life with a dash of adrenaline.
This 4 Hour Can-Am Experience is more than just a winery tour; it’s a chance to explore Hampshire and its local wineries in a way most visitors don’t get to experience. Instead of riding in a bus or car, you’ll hop onto a side-by-side (SXS) vehicle, which makes the journey both exhilarating and immersive.
The adventure lasts approximately four hours, giving ample time to enjoy the scenery, learn about winemaking, and sample some excellent wines. Plus, with a maximum of six travelers, you’ll receive plenty of attention from your guide, ensuring your experience is both fun and informative.
The tour starts at 4770 TN-50, Williamsport, TN, easily accessible and well-organized. Once you’re geared up with helmets and goggles (provided for safety), your guide will lead you through rugged terrain, crossing dirt trails and backroads that show you the true heart of Tennessee’s countryside.
What makes this experience stand out? First, it’s the chance to avoid the typical tourist-heavy wineries and instead visit local, lesser-known vineyards. Second, the off-road ride itself adds a layer of adventure, making this more than just a tasting—it’s a memorable day out.
Stop One: Amber Falls Winery & Cellars
The main focus of the tour is here, in Hampshire’s most renowned winery. Amber Falls offers a welcoming atmosphere with a commendable selection of wines. Visitors often mention the lively summer scene with food trucks and live music, which amplifies the enjoyment.

Stop Two: Keg Springs Winery
