Food, Fun & Fizz – Burn’s in Love!

Wedged firmly between Burns’ Night and Valentine’s, the twain did meet at a very special Scottish food & wine tasting in Glasgow on February 6th. We showcased once again Scotland’s infinite variety of top quality artisan produce, while Pieter Rosenthal of Cork and Bottle matched the menu with some superb wines from around the world that can trace their proud Scottish roots. Kicking off the love was a delicious glass of strawberry fizz from the Cairn O’Mohr winery; one of the producers we regularly visit on our one day Perthshire food tour. With the dates of our 2013 tours soon to be posted on our website why not join us in ...

‘Food, Fun & Fizz’ – absolutely fabulous!

Firstly congratulations to all who managed to get themselves a ticket for our sold-out inaugural Tasting Scotland ‘Food, Fun & Fizz’ event in conjunction with Cork and Bottle on Thursday 22nd November in Glasgow. Sorry to everyone else who had their sights set on the best value ticket in town, but who we couldn’t quite squeeze into the Tasting Room at The Good Spirits Co.

Friends, family or colleagues came together and enjoyed a perfectly executed blend of pop-up tapas restaurant, traditional wine tasting & some gourmet ...

We recognise that not everyone can join us on one of our food tours, be it a day or a week long Gourmet Journey through the best of Scotland’s food scene, and that’s why we also offer a range of tasting events that quite literally bring the produce and the producer’s inspiring story to you.

Big Tastes indeed in Scotland in Minature

On the Isle of Arran, just an hour’s ferry trip from the Scottish mainland, they promise ‘big tastes from a small island’. Based on our latest 2-night food safari we certainly wouldn’t argue with their bold statement. Arran has been said to come with a health warning. Visitors can be expected to suffer quickly from Arranitis. This condition starts with warm, feel-good feelings once arriving on Scotland’s 7th largest island and develops into full-blown euphoria! Arran is a stunning island with wonderful people, fabulous food & drink and we would suggest it is absolutely well worth taking the risk. Many of Scotland’s top chefs use ...
