Do yourself a favor and pay the 10$ for the trolley tour. The scenery alone is worth it. And taste test all the flavors of tea in the gift shop.

Firefly Distillery--yes. YES. I did the testing, it was plentiful enough to make me sit for awhile before driving on. I bought lots of Christmas presents here. Mostly for myself.
