A special place and an amazing experience!
Sep 2021 • Couples
Amazing experience visiting the Glenfiddich Distillery. Our tour guide, Glenda was amazing, so knowledgeable and so loyal to the brand. We loved each minute of the tour. The place is so beautifully kept and you can see the love the employees havefor the place and it’s heritage.
The whiskey shop had a great selection and we enjoyed a great lunch at the coffe shop.
If you are doing the Malt whiskey trail or are in the area you must visit this place!

A great tour
Sep 2021
We have visited a number of distilleries in Kentucky, USA. This distillery tour was special. The variety of stills was a spectacular sight. The sampling was interesting and we really appreciated the on-site dining option. We had hiked from a nearby village and needed lunch and water. The cafe staff was very accommodating and pleasant. All in all, a great experience.

Really gone downhill
Sep 2021
I'd been to Glenfiddick a few years ago but it seems like most of the areas of the distillery that were previously open are now shut to the public which might be down to Covid, but there wasn't really much to look at. The restaurant used to be in a big open building but it's now relocated and the food was terrible, both dishes we ordered were awful. When we complained, the waitress shrugged it off and said she'd let the chef know and nothing further was said.
So disappointed as it used to be so good. Glenlivet is far more impressive now!

Excellent tour guide
Aug 2021 • Couples
We really enjoyed our recent visit to the distillery. Our guide Brian was very knowledgeable and showed a real passion for whisky and Glenfiddich. He even managed to convert my self-confessed whisky hating wife! Brian is a real credit to the Glenfiddich team and we wouldn't hesitate to book another tour if he was our guide.

Beautiful distillery to visit and the tour was exceptional; made so by our brilliant guide Brian. He had a wealth of knowledge and went over and above to ensure we had a great day out. He created one of best distillery tours we have done to date.

The distillery tour was incredibly good value for money.
Our guide Brian showed a real passion for the subject and explained the distilling processes in a clear easy to understand way.

Lunch in the Robbie Dhu restaurant was excellent. Then onto a tour with tasting at the end. Brian, our tour guide, was excellent explaining at every stage and stopping point what was going on. The whole family enjoyed the visit.

Buongiorno, fanno tour in italiano? Se sì, come è possibile prenotarlo? Sul sito indicano solo la prenotazione e non la possibilità di scegliere la lingua...

Is there a tasting room to try if we don’t have time for the tour? Is it worth a visit without doing a tour?

Yes there is a great tasting area and the bar staff are very knowledgeable making it worthwhile. We did not have a tour either but the cafe is definitely worth a visit too.
Hola,
tengo dos hijos de 7 y 9 años, pueden entrar a la visita?
Gracias.

Ja, natürlich. Die Kinder brauchen ja keinen Whisky zu trinken. Viel Spaß...

Which of their whiskies are being sampled in this tour?
(We're thinking about booking it too, but would prefer tasting whiskies that aren't yet present in our own liquor cabinet)

The shortest tour, which we did, lets you sample the 12, 15 and 18 year olds I think. They do a variety of tours, which include different samples. If you speak nicely to them afterwards, you may get a different sample - we did in the shop.

No matter how many times I try, the website is not allowing me to book a tour. I have tried calling multiple times and no one answers. I have emailed several times and I received one reply saying I cannot book by email, only through the site,
although I told them I can't book through the site. We are coming from Canada and have already booked accommodations near there. We have based our itinerary off of this. Can anyone help?

I did not seem to have any problems booking. I think it will be coming into the busy season but it is worth the trip and the visit the distillery is amazing
