About Sip & Trip

Who we are

Sip & Trip is published by the group behind Scottish Highland Travel and HighlandTrip, two private chauffeur and driver-guide services in Scotland. Our group also plans tailor-made trips in Europe. We built this guide because the same questions came up again and again: when should we go, do we need to book, how long is the drive, and who drives after the tasting?

How we write

• Curated, not exhaustive. We would rather explain one region well than list every producer in it.
• Checkable facts. We do not publish tasting prices, opening days or special offers from individual producers, because they change too often. Instead, we link to official sources and say "check before booking".
• Honest drive times. Times are approximate, in good conditions, and labelled as such.
• Nobody drives after tasting. Every page explains how to travel without driving.
• Real photographs. We use credited photographs of the real places, mostly from Wikimedia Commons. See our photo credits.
• No invented reviews or awards. You will not find fake testimonials, star ratings or made-up experts here.

How the site is funded

Whisky pages link to our group's chauffeur services, and wine pages invite tailor-made trip enquiries. In future we may add affiliate links to booking platforms, which we will always disclose. See our affiliate disclosure.
