After you have gained exciting impressions of the elaborate process, round off your visit with a small Tasting off. Let yourself be seduced by the aromas of the noble wines!
Afterwards, you will continue through the Scottish countryside towards the famous Loch Ness, which stretches picturesquely between the hills. Already during the trip you can catch a glimpse of the mysterious, deep blue lake, around which legends about its legendary inhabitant "Nessie" entwine.

On site, you will have some time to explore the remains of the former medieval fortress and enjoy a spectacular View of Loch Ness to enjoy. Have your camera ready to capture this special sight!
