Cairn O'Mohr is the Scottish wine-producer. They make wine from all sorts of delicious ingredients…read moresuch as elderflower, eldeberry, spring and autumn oak leaf, as well as raspberry and strawberry (and other tasty red fruits). Though they're actually based in Perthshire, they have a stall every Saturday at the Farmer's Market on Castle Terrace. I've bought a bottle of this wine for my parents before, but as they're not really used to wine not being made of grapes, they got a bit perturbed by the whole experience. To be fair, we live in a vineyard village in Switzerland, so I'm sure they were also kind of scared that our neighbors would find out they were drinking ELDERFLOWER wine. Eyes would've widened and reached popping-point. Cairn O'Mohr is big with hippies or green people, who would rather keep their wine drinking within the border because of airmiles and the sort. It's also ridiculously tasty, once you get over the initial but-this-isn't-made-of-grapes reaction. They also have fizzy elderflower wine that's a great choice for a birthday present, or another sort of celebratory occasion. If you're doing a wee tour of all things Scottish (and by that I mean all drinks Scottish), and you've done whiskey and mead, this should definitely be your next choice. The folks working at the stall are always happy to give you tasters so that you can decide which wine suits your palate best.

Highly recommend. If…read moreyou are a Scotch/Whiskey enjoyer, you definitely should check this tour out. Recently me and my friends went and luckily because we rented an air bnb close by, we were able to walk to it. But just fyi when we went, the street that it is on was closed off for the public to walk. So just keep that in mind when thinking about parking. Highlights of the tour were some of the art and presentations they have on the history and making of Scotch. I also really enjoyed how they gave you a sheet that shows examples of some common tasting notes you can expect from each region. I learned that Islay Whiskey was my favorite region to sip from just because of how smoky their Whiskey can be. I had a great time. After the tour they give you an example of each region so you can compare and contrast. On top of everything, the people working there were very enthusiastic and friendly. If we ever came back to Edinburgh I might even want to go again just because of the fun experience.

I visited and fell in love with their food hall at Elm Row. I'd walked past what had initially felt…read morelike a mediocre street only to discover the most impressive deli I've seen in Edinburgh! They had all sorts of cheeses, olive oil, cold cut meats, pasta, sauces, and many more deliciously delectable things. I had great hopes for this Valvona and Crolla, situated in THE department store of the city centre, Jenners. I was sadly disappointed to find it has much less character than the rustic and homey store on Elm Row. You will still find great food that I was impressed by the other store, and perhaps even more as they have an American Food section, with the popular staples such as Pop Tarts and Aunt Jemima mixes and syrups. There is an adjoining restaurant with fantastic views over and beyond Princes Street, and two smaller cafes, one in the food hall, and another on a lower floor by the men's clothes section. The food here is a little pricier than going to a supermarket as would be expected, but for a foodie like me, it's well worth it. Just go to the Elm Row one instead. Nuff said.

Not bad at all, which I guess means good to more optimistic folk…read more Had a coffee, a delicious but slightly over-salty quiche and a slice of Baileys cheesecake for my breakfast (cheesecake is so a breakfast food! Shutup!) We sat in the cafe overlooking Princes Street and I must say it is a nice place to have some food when the sun is shining but the wind is blowing. Lovely view of Scott's Monument and the surrounding area, with the hustle and bustle of the main street while you sit above it all! The service was a bit slow, which I am a tad unforgiving about as there was two people serving and they were slowed down by chatting to a third employee. It's a pet peeve of mine. Apart from that the staff were smiley and cheerful. The price was ok, about £7.50 for what I ordered, which I can live with. A lovely place for a tea or coffee and a quick bite while you shop in the lavishness that is Jenners.

What a great little place this is. Having sampled their wines at Good Food Show's past and…read morepresent, we had an inkling of how great this place would be. The guy and I, to top off our date night out in Dundee, ended up taking a tour of Cairn O'Mohr on our way back home to Glasgow. This winery is right between Perth and Dundee so perfect if you're in either city or even Glasgow. It was a gloomy day, perfect for being at the winery. Since we were early (note: I am notorious early everywhere), we decided to check out the cafe for something warm. We sat down and the owner came over and handed us menus. There was loads to choose from, plus fresh made soups to order as well. We ended up ordering the haggis and cheese toasty with two bowls of soup. We were feeling a little raw from our date night the night before, so this food was a perfect pick me up before the winery tour. Once we ate, we made our way to check in to the tour. With our tour we got a free bottle of wine/cider so we were given tickets to give to the tour guide once it started. The tour itself was awesome. The guide was friendly and funny and very mindful of the large group she was taking around the premises. She gave us a history of the family who started Cairn O'Mohr, told us how they expanded to more buildings once they started selling more product, we got a tour of the area where ciders and wines were being made and we got to see the bottling area and where they store the booze once it's ready to be bottled. Once the tour was over, we were taken to the sampling room and literally got about 10-15 samples each (non-acho for those of us driving) and it was amazing. I was driving so I was given non-alcho ciders they had which was great. Once we got back to the little shop, my guy and I ended up buying cider on top of the free bottle of red wine we bought to cook with. This really is a great day out, so if you're in the area or up for a wee adventure, I highly recommend this place.

This place has been in operation since 1833. They get their water from a stream in Dumgoyne hill…read more It's a unique place because it sits between the lowlands & the highlands. The whisky is produced in the highlands and matured in the lowlands which is just across the street. I was there last week on a beautiful sunny day, our tour guide Jimmy was fabulous! Young guy, exuberant, knowledgeable, funny and engaging. We were there with a group of Germans, whose English was so-so, Jimmy slowed down his speech and articulated his words to give them a chance to understand what he was saying. The history of Glengoyne was very interesting, learning how whisky is made was cool, seeing the guys at work was an added bonus. The actual tasting gave us insight into how to smell, swirl to see how the whisky coats the glass and to taste different aged malts. They are all single malts here, ranging from 10 - 30 years, although they have a few rare collectibles. The rarest being a 56 year old bottle from 1969. They are aged in sherry and oak barrels. Definitely a great tour & worth the money. The gift shop has all sorts of things in various price ranges also.
