Sunday Supper with Visit Sevierville

In partnership with Visit Sevierville, the Garden & Gun Club at The Battery welcomed the culinary team from The Appalachian for a special evening that brought a taste of East Tennessee to the table. The evening featured a three-course dinner showcasing the region’s fresh, seasonal flavors with wine pairings, before a week-long special menu by chef David Rule kept the celebration going at the Club.
