While you're in the region
Is this a good one?
- Against others of its kind
- At $225 a day this sits near the top of the range, against a $108 median for craft & artisan. It is cheaper than 4 of the 19 craft & artisan options mapped here.
- Other things to learn in United Kingdom
- 2 other options in United Kingdom, starting with whisky distilling and blending in Islay, Scotland from $1,500.
- When to go
- Runs year-round, so this one bends around your calendar rather than the other way about.
- How long it really takes
- Most people give it 3 days, but the honest range is 2 to 5. The narrow spread means the course length is largely fixed.
