Rabbie’s boozy breaks take guests to state-of-the-art award-winning distilleries to learn how delicious whiskies and gins are created. These trips are perfect for groups, but you don’t need a special excuse to book! Other popular days out include visits to cosy Cotswold villages and charming coastal communities. Great group days out include:
Bombay Sapphire Gin & Winchester
Laverstoke Distillery, home of world-famous Bombay Sapphire Gin, is an old paper mill which combines Victorian and ultra-modern architecture to create a suitably stunning place to learn about and sample award-winning gin.
Bombay Sapphire has been recognised for its ethically minded production, not to mention its delicious taste. On a tour of the distillery, guests learn about the history of the wonderous drink and the hard work that goes into creating its beautiful botanical flavour.
After the tour and sampling session, guests are encouraged to visit The Mill Café, serving delicious local produce, and the Mill Bar, a glamorous spot to enjoy a cocktail alongside the River Test.
Guests on this tour will also visit the beautiful city of Winchester. Dive into the history of England’s ancient capital by exploring its glorious cathedral, ancient mill, cute cafes and plentiful museums.
Prices for this one-day tour departing from London start from £56 per person based on February and March 2022 departures.
Loch Lomond, Cruise & Whisky
Scotland takes its Whisky seriously, it’s the country’s national drink and takes skill and patience to create.
This tour departing from Glasgow mixes Whisky with Scotland’s other famous speciality, breath-taking views. The first stop is the southern shore of Loch Lomond, where a one-hour long boat cruise offers dramatic sights of castles and surrounding mountains.
The cruise visits Inchmurrin Island, the largest of Loch Lomond’s 33 islands and home to the ancient remains of Lennox Castle, a hiding spot once used by Robert the Bruce. Be sure to visit the picturesque village of Luss, complete with quaint cottages.
Return to Glasgow to visit to the renowned Clydeside Whisky Distillery. Proud to bring distilling back to the city, this state-of-the-art site can be found at the historic Queen’s Dock. Learn the secrets of Scotland’s national drink from an expert guide before visiting the tasting room; knowledge of the traditional methods makes the taste of single malt even more special.
Take some time to explore Glasgow’s vibrant bars and music venues to make this a Valentine’s to remember. Prices for this one-day tour start at £35 per person based on February and March 2022 departures.
Oxford & Traditional Cotswold Villages
After visiting Oxford’s historical colleges and delightful cafes, get ready for a whirlwind exploration of some the most quaint and beautiful villages in England. Begin at the ‘Gateway to the Cotswolds’ – Burford.
A small market town which boasts enormous character and depth. Take time to visit the many independent shopping outlets on its famous steep high street, if you’re feeling peckish there’s plenty of spots for a traditional afternoon tea.
Make the short journey to Bibury, dubbed the prettiest village in England by William Morris, to stroll its charming streets and fairy-tale-like Arlington Row before embarking on the comfortable journey back to London.
Prices for the one-day tour start from £62 per person based on February and March 2022 departures.
As with all Rabbie’s tours, guests are transported in luxury 16-person mini-coaches and treated to the stories and services of a friendly-driver guide. The mini-coaches mean Rabbie’s tours can reach the smaller, independent destinations, ensuring your trips supports local communities and independent businesses.
