Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival
Spirit of Speyside, without the driving.
Festival week
Each spring the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival fills the region’s distilleries, halls and hotels with events. They’re spread out, the roads are rural, and almost every one involves a dram.
That’s where we come in. Book a driver for a day, an evening or several days of the festival, and we’ll take you from event to event, wait nearby and bring you home.
Most of our drivers have worked in the distilling industry, so they know the distilleries and the back roads between them.

Questions
Festival questions.
When is the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival?
It’s held each spring, usually around the end of April and the start of May. Check the festival’s own website for this year’s dates and programme.
Do you sell festival event tickets?
No, tickets are booked through the festival. Once you have yours, send us your programme and we’ll arrange the driving around it.
Can you take us between several events in one day?
Yes. Tell us your events and timings and we’ll plan the runs between them, with time to spare.
Where can you collect us from?
From your accommodation anywhere on Speyside, and from Inverness and Inverness Airport. Staying somewhere else? Ask us.
We’re not coming for the festival. Can you still help?
Of course. We run private whisky tours all year round. Choose your distilleries in the planner and we’ll plan the day around what’s open on your date.
