If you are looking for a great way to sample a variety of local food and drink in an authentic setting, our Ullapool Food Tours are perfect for you. Both tours have been carefully curated to combine some of our favourite mouthwatering dishes and drinks from welcoming local venues with an engaging itinerary and expert guidance. On our leisurely walk through the village, your guide will highlight the Scottish producers and connections to Ullapool of the food and drink we get to enjoy. Our food tours not only showcase the delicious local cuisine, but also the outstanding scenery of Ullapool as well as its stories and history.
