Great boutique wineries, not too rushed, so plenty of time for photos and gift shopping. Lunch was amazing at Blairgownie Estate. Tony the bus driver was a great source of info.
Good day out

Delicious lunch, varied types of vineyards and wine but some crackers would have been welcome to nibble on.
No thanks. Please don’t...
Brian_M, 07-01-2023
No thanks. Please don’t require me to do something I don’t wish to do. Go bother someone else. BTW trip was good. Recommend a visit.
Nice and last winery could have been better with tasting
Durgesh_V, 29-12-2022
Getting to visit 4 wineries with our guide (Tony) was good. Few people in the group were great too. Tony was really polite and nice, making sure that we leave on time. However,only feedback is that the tasting was really rushed in the last winery without proper explanation on the wines etc.
