2 Cheese Tastings in Scotland to Build a Day Around

1.Edinburgh Cheese Crawl : Guided Food Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 231 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $48Our pick

Spend about two and a half hours walking from Comely Bank to Stockbridge, visiting local cheese shops and delis with a guide such as Jenny, Xander, or Kieran. You will taste several cheeses, hear stories about the area, and enjoy a glass of prosecco. Most tastings take place outdoors, so dress for Edinburgh weather.

“We went to multiple local businesses and had some wonderful and delicious cheese! It was a lot fun to try all the varieties. The day we went the weather was a bit on the cool side and most of the tastings were outside so dress appropriately! Our tour guide was very knowledgable!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 10 reviews · 50 minutes (approx.) · from $39Best value

At Errichel near Aberfeldy, choose either the 2:15pm Scottish Cheese Tasting or the 2:45pm Charcuterie Tasting. Becky or Rebecca introduces five Scottish specialties, explains their pairings, and gives you a tasting map with notes to take home. The farm shop makes it easy to buy favorites for later.

“Brilliant birthday afternoon doing the cheese & charcuterie tasting. Brilliant setting, great knowledge and insight from Becky about the local produce available in Scotland. Best bit was learning about pairings that go with the cheeses and meats. Loved that we were able to buy a few bits in the deli to recreate the experience again at home with friends. Left happy and full. Will definitely be back.”
