Leave room for dessert! Our third venue, the stunning dinning room at Twenty Princes Street is where we sit down to a very special Scottish sweet treat paired with sparkling wine.

The tour lasts approximately 3 hours . We visit 3 locations; each location is unique and memorable. Tours run rain or shine and venues are a short walk from one another so wear comfortable shoes. On the way your Guide will point out landmarks of interest and share local knowledge.

Tours are presented by Joanne or Bronwyn, both experienced and passionate tasters and foodies! We each have 15+ years working in wine tourism and trade. Your experience will be fun, relaxed and enjoyable. There are no silly questions!

What guests have said...

"Our walking wine tour was better than we could possibly have hoped! We had absolutely no idea what to expect, but Joanne's open, welcoming manner put us instantly at our ease. The venues were immaculately chosen, we hadn't been to any of them previously and are already planning return trips! Joanne's depth of knowledge and her clarity in communicating it are astonishing, every question we asked spurred a fascinating and engaging delve into the wine world, and we learned so much more than we would have anticipated. By far the stand out, however, was Joanne's deft guidance through the process of actually engaging with the experience of wine. This has, without hyperbole, genuinely changed our approach to wine, opening our eyes to a hitherto unanticipated world of experience.We can't wait until we have an excuse to go again!"
