   Your Hosts; Paul & Regis meet you in Glasgow where we start our Winter Whisky Wonderland Tour! We will head north via Perth to our first stop of the tour; Dewar's World of Whisky. Here we will sample Blended Whisky ... for much more detailed whisky information CLICK HERE

 

After Dewar's we are driving north once more passing Dalwhinnie Distillery on our left, the highest above sea level, before passing through Inverness, the Black Isle and Dingwall to STRATHPEFFER where we stay tonight; THE BEN WYVIS HOTEL. Plenty of time here to unwind and relax before dinner. A good day ending with a dram at the bar?

 

Day two of our tour sees us driving west through beautiful landscapes to Ullapool, where we will stop at the Ceilidh Place for eating, talking and mixing. We make our way back to THE BEN WYVIS HOTEL where our WHISKY DINNER awaits.

 

 

A special day of whisky tasting ...as we travel to Dalmore & Glenmorangie distilleries for a tasting experience; info soon...  

We will spend the whole day exploring the local area in between our two visits, with a stop for lunch options en route. We return to the THE BEN WYVIS HOTEL where once again we enjoy dinner.

 

Castle Urquhart is our first stop today, originally the site of a Pictish fort dating back to a visit by St Columba in 597. The first real evidence of anything recognisable as a castle dates back to the years following 1230, when Alexander II crushed a revolt in the province of Moray, to the north, and decided to defend this strategic route. We take a visit before moving to the JACOBITE boat for a sail along this famous loch, towards Inverness.

We return to the hotel, before dressing for dinner; Abstract Restaurant, Inverness. A superb dinner awaits followed by a visit to a local pub, the Castle Tavern with its excellent whisky and local beers! Coach takes us back to Strathpeffer for our final night there.

 

We start our journey back to Glasgow but, not before one final distillery; GLENGOYNE. A Master Blender Session awaits where you can create your very own blended whisky! Guests are welcomed with a dram of 10 year old Single Highland Malt before enjoying a guided tour of the distillery.  After the tour guests are invited in to our new state-of the-art whisky 'Sample Room' where they can taste 'Langs Select' blended whisky and award winning Glengoyne 17 year old Single Highland Malt whilst learning about the art of the Master Blender. Guests will then have the opportunity to create their own blend which will be bottled in a 100ml sample bottle for them to take home, along with a certificate.
