Joanne took us to amazing restaurants where we had elevated versions of classic Scottish dishes. Plus she shared her expertise of whisky over a dram of single malt. Very fun and relaxing and Joanne is a delightful host.
Loved it!

We kicked off our 3 week Scotland adventure in Edinburgh. We had scheduled on our second night private dinner, wine/whisky tour with Joanne, and it remains one of the highlights of our time in beautiful Scotland. Joanne has an incredible wealth of knowledge about all things grape (wine, champagne), whisky and food. We went to restaurants that showcased what Edinburgh had to offer in modern cuisine, and it was excellent. We started out at Hawksmoor Edinburgh for appetizers, champagne, and Greek white wine. I still think about those West Coast Scallops. Then we meandered over to Twenty Princes Street for the main, Chateaubriand, paired with some excellent red wine from France, whisky from Bruichladdich and 15 year old Dalwhinnie. We capped off the evening over at Johnnie Walkers 1820 rooftop bar for Crannichan and Hibiscus dessert cocktail with beautiful nighttime views of the city to boot. I was enthralled with the dessert cocktail flavor profile. Who knew whisky and hibiscus would pair so well. We really enjoyed having Joanne as our guide for the evening. It set a positive tone for this once in a lifetime trip. She made us feel welcomed and it was like old friends getting together for a night on the town.

We had quite big expectations and still she managed to surprise us with insights and new ideas. We went to three sceneries with a short walk between. There were combinations of wine and food that were quite new to us and very interesting. Her methods were simple and still sophisticated and she had a lot of surprises up the sleeve. She gave us the feeling that we had the tools to analyse wine just by using our senses. She was very knowledgeable helpful and friendly with an easy way of communicating. We can highly recommend this tour and hope one day to be back and book another.
Amazing experience

Joanne is AMAZING! We went to spa we would have never known existed, given our short time here. We had the best food, wine and dessert cocktail. Highly recommend!
