Mmmmmmm! Thank you Maya! You were simply brilliant!
Maya - you are a gem! As a foodie, I was always told food in the UK was awful. They lied! Each dish that we were served was better than the next! The savory flavors and fresh fish were to die for!! And a little secret - I never liked oysters, but obviously I never had Scottish oysters! It was DELICIOUS!!! Our little group gave us the opportunity to have an intimate special tour. This is a do not miss tour.

Scottish food, drink and history
The amount of food and drink we were given was very generous. The ambience was wonderful. Our guide, Tim, exceeded expectations. He was friendly, informative and provided lots of history about Scotland and food. The time flew by. We highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in Scottish food.

Amazing!
Such a great experience! The hidden wine cellar was a really unique place to enjoy a meal, the atmosphere was cozy, historic, and something you don’t get to experience every day. The food was delicious, the wine selection was excellent, and everything was put together with a lot of care. The hosts were friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do, which made the whole experience even better. It was a perfect mix of great food, good wine, and a memorable Edinburgh experience. Definitely something I would recommend to anyone visiting the city!

Enjoyable evening of history and fabulous food
Excellent Food! Great ambiance. Small and intimate. Lots of ancient history of Scotland! Meeting point was difficult to find-needs better landmarks or ID. Frustrating for someone from out of the country. Also, the restaurant staff had trouble listing non-alcoholic alternatives to alcohol drinks. Seems like they should be able to make one sort of suggestion or give options -even if it is soda

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Food experience in a Hidden Wine Cellar in Edinburgh: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Edinburgh.
How much does Food experience in a Hidden Wine Cellar in Edinburgh cost?
+
Prices start at $70 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Edinburgh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Food experience in a Hidden Wine Cellar in Edinburgh take?
+
Plan for about 2.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Edinburgh is not rushed.
Is Food experience in a Hidden Wine Cellar in Edinburgh worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 74 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Edinburgh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Food experience in a Hidden Wine Cellar in Edinburgh?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Food experience in a Hidden Wine Cellar in Edinburgh suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2.3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Food experience in a Hidden Wine Cellar in Edinburgh?
+
Around 26 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Edinburgh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Edinburgh and add a light layer if any part of the 2.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Food experience in a Hidden Wine Cellar in Edinburgh start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Edinburgh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Edinburgh?
+
On Outty we rank every Edinburgh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Edinburgh: Loch Ness, Glencoe and The Highlands, Edinburgh: Glenfinnan Viaduct, Glencoe & Fort William, Edinburgh Ghost Tour: Mysteries, Legends and Murders. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Edinburgh?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Edinburgh?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
