It’s time to “Shine and Dine”

Smith Creek Moonshine is an authentic moonshine tasting attraction with two locations in Branson, Missouri. Our flagship location is at the heart of the Branson Landing while our newest location can be found at Tanger Outlets on the famous 76 Strip.

Moonshine is simply made from a base of corn, sugar, yeast, and water. However, we took this traditional recipe to a whole new level by adding a special twist of different flavors, sometimes smooth, sometimes bold, but are always distinct. Flavors like Apple Pie, Salted Caramel, Butter Cake, and Sweet Tea to name a few.

At the heart of the Smith Creek Moonshine experience is the opportunity to sample all of our flavored shines at our free tasting bar. Eager to share all that they know, our bartenders enthusiastically explain the story behind each flavor, and there are plenty from which to choose. The wide variety of flavors that we offer gives our guests a complete moonshine tasting experience unlike any other, which gives them an opportunity to discover their favorite flavors before heading home with a few jars.

In addition to the complimentary tasting bar, Smith Creek Moonshine also features a retail store where guests can purchase apparel, sauces, dry rubs, scented candles, and much more. While you’re there, check out our restaurant that features a moonshine cocktail bar, awesome burgers, wraps, appetizers, and Granny’s famous Shiner’s Reuben sandwich.

Whether you love moonshine or are just trying it out for the first time, don’t miss the chance to “Shine & Dine”at Smith Creek Moonshine!
