Winter Whisky Distilleries Trail

Service Description

Experience Speyside in its quieter winter season on a private whisky tour through one of Scotland’s most celebrated whisky regions. Travel through crisp Highland landscapes, cosy distilleries and beautiful Speyside scenery, with plenty of time to enjoy the character of each stop. Whether you’re new to whisky or already know your drams, the day is relaxed, personal and easy-going. Each distillery has its own story and charm. One may welcome you with Victorian gardens, another brings the history of the Drovers to life, while another began as a hilltop farm softened by the waters and peat of Speyside. In winter, these places feel especially atmospheric, with warm tasting rooms, rich aromas and the perfect excuse for a comforting dram. Your tour includes one complimentary Distillery Tour Admission at any available distillery listed in our itinerary. From there, we’ll visit as many distilleries as time and availability allow. Tastings are at your own expense, and you’re just as welcome to enjoy the grounds, shops and surroundings. To help the day run smoothly, we kindly ask that you avoid booking separate distillery tours in advance, as fixed times can affect the itinerary. If you already have something booked that’s important to you, just let us know and we’ll do our best to work around it. Winter dates can be limited, so we recommend booking ahead to secure your preferred day.
