‘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. We described the event as being the first of what is sure to be a fabulously different wine & dine event. Friends, family or colleagues came together and enjoyed a perfectly executed blend of pop-up tapas restaurant, traditional wine tasting & some gourmet ...

Tasting Tasting….calling all cheese & wine lovers!

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. Tasting Scotland was pleased to collaborate with Pieter Rosenthal of Cork & Bottle and provide the guests of 29studios, a Glasgow based visual communications agency (with a fabulous event space!), with a relaxed, fun yet informative evening of Cheese &  Wine Tasting. These events are a perfect way for friends,family, colleagues, business ...

Nature’s Summer thro’ Autumn – A spring in our step!

Describing all manner of interesting facts like eh.....which mushrooms are poisonous!As a long time forager, starting with wild rasps and blackberries when aged 5 in some hedgerows at the back of my grandparent’s house in Aberdeenshire, I was then introduced to Perthshire’s wild mushroom wilderness by an Italian colleague when working at the 5 star Gleneagles Hotel.  My favourite time of the year for foraging is right about now; with berries still to be got and wild mushroom season upon us. My fascination for nature’s true larder continues to grow and it is perfect timing that in co-operation with Reforesting Scotland a guide has  been ...

Tasting Perthshire – Foodie Heaven

Greetings Fellow Foodies! The Late Summer Outing: Scintillating Success Our journey to Perth was fascinating: delicate oils, delicious speciality smoked salmon & trout, lunch from a Master Chef, and to complete a perfect day; some distinctive Scottish fruit wines.

On this occasion, out first stop was the 50-year old Ferneyfold Farm, where they specialise in making the most exquisite ...
