We will get the day going with your morning pick-up from your hotel or arranged collection point (covering all major cities in Scotland) by myself in our luxury minibus.

We start the day with a refreshing trail walk in one of Perthshire’s many forestry reserves, priming your taste buds for the first of the day’s food tasting experiences – locally sourced & smoked salmon from ‘Dunkeld Smoked Salmon‘ – their traditional cold smoked and hot smoked salmon has been served to the Queen no less.

A small family run artisan smokehouse situated near the banks of the River Tay in the beautiful historic village of Dunkeld, Perthshire. The Smokehouse first began smoking 40 years ago to originally smoke anglers own fish and their master smoker Ronnie has been there 26 years perfecting the art of smoking for both wild and farmed fish. Each fish is individually cured by hand in small batches before being slowly smoked in kilns over whisky barrel chips and oak dust giving the salmon a unique flavour and texture. As a business they are totally committed to ethical and sustainable sourcing.

Treating this as a ‘starter’ for the days tasting ahead, we travel onto Aberfeldy for our next port of call on this tasting tour in the Highlands.
