2.Scottish Cheese OR Scottish Charcuterie Tasting at Errichel

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

Choose a 2:15pm Scottish cheese tasting or a 2:45pm charcuterie tasting at Errichel Farm near Aberfeldy. Becky introduces five local artisan items, explains pairings, and provides a tasting map and flavour guide. Add wine with cheese or beer with charcuterie for an extra charge.

“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.”
