Dalwhinnie Distillery is located in the village of Dalwhinnie in Inverness-shire, within the Scottish Highlands. The distillery sits within Cairngorms National Park and is easily reached from the A9 road between Perth and Inverness.

No, the distillery doesn’t have a café.  

Yes. Dalwhinnie Distillery welcomes visitors with guided distillery tours, tutored tastings and whisky experiences throughout the year.

Advance booking is recommended, particularly during peak tourist seasons and popular tasting experiences, to ensure availability for your preferred tour time.

Visitors may still be able to explore the shop and bar areas of the visitor centre without booking a guided tour, depending on availability.    

However, booking a tour provides the best opportunity to explore the working distillery and enjoy a structured whisky tasting experience.
