Tour Highlights:

Explore Leith: Our journey commences in the historic Leith district, where you'll rendezvous with your knowledgeable guide for a 45-minute walking tour. Off the beaten path, Leith exudes a rich tapestry of history, culture, and contemporary allure. Stroll through the alleyways of this vibrant neighborhood, which has flourished alongside Edinburgh since the Middle Ages. Your guide will regale you with captivating tales of Leith's maritime heritage and its evolution into a trendy artistic enclave, fueled in part by the spirits industry. Along the way, tantalize your taste buds with some local snacks to whet your appetite!

Moonwake Brewery Tour: After immersing yourself in the local ambiance, we'll venture to Moonwake Beer Co for an insider's glimpse into the craft beer realm. Stepping away from industrial-scale operations, Moonwake prides itself on crafting meticulously brewed local and innovative beers - have you ever heard of an Edinburgh stout, for instance? Meet the passionate team behind the magic as they lead you through the brewing process, from raw ingredients to the finished product. Marvel at the state-of-the-art brewing equipment of this independent brewery and gain insights into the art of beer-making!

Tasting Flight with Local Pairings: The highlight of your experience awaits as you settle into Moonwake's inviting tasting room. Indulge in a thoughtfully curated flight comprising three distinct 1/3-pint pours, each showcasing the brewery's diverse range of flavors and styles. Allow the aromas and flavors to tantalize your senses as you savor the craftsmanship infused into each brew. To enhance the experience, each beer will be expertly paired with local cheeses and cured meats. This tasting session offers an opportunity to explore the intricate nuances of beer and discover how it harmonizes with the rich textures and flavors of carefully selected local delicacies.
