When you are a MacGregor, you know your roots, and Chip MacGregor is a proud son of Scotland. He invites you to share with him, the tastes of his homeland.
Before we get to the scotch drinker’s paradise known as The Highlands, we begin our explorations in the capital city of Edinburgh with its castle, the Royal Mile, and plenty of history. We have planned visits to the castle, the Royal Yacht Britannia, Johnnie Walker, a whisky dinner, and lunch at the legendary, candlelit Witchery. From there we proceed north to the highlands by private motorcoach. After immersing ourselves in the pleasures of Speyside’s whisky region for 4 nights, we end our journey in nearby Aberdeen. Our scotch experiences will include distillery tours but also mixology, blending, and food pairings. Other local highlights including a castle, cooperage, and woolen mill. It is a full and rich program.
Spaces are extremely limited as many of our hosts only accommodate small groups. We are ready to share Chip’s heritage with you. Listen - the pipes are callin’. ACT NOW to hold your seat at the bar.
