Our second last Wine Tasting event of 2011 at The Four Seasons Hotel in St Fillans.  A super event. If you've never been, you don't know what you are missing.  Informal talks by our host's for the evening, Aiden and Hannah Schwarzer from Tanners Wines in Shrewsbury (our 'old world wine' supplier) about; the wine, how it was chosen to match each courses, why it works, how to make similar choices in your own home. 

 

The menu was chosen to showcase the best ingredients available in our local area:-Salmon freshly smoked by our head Chef, Peter woods; Locally foraged Sloe Berries; Balquhidder Venison (always a popular dish); Autumn Fruits with cardoman rice pudding - yummy! and a light cheese to finish. 

 

A great time was had by all, and if you fancy coming along to our next and final one of the year, it is on the 2nd of December.  Wines for this event will be chosen by Richard Meadows of Great Grog in Edinburgh (our 'new world wine' supplier)  Same Menu, different Wines.  Why not give us a call and book a table.

Raising The Bar At Achray House

New sun terrace at the Achray Hotel, St Fillans

Up until now most of the work Alan and Jane have done at The Achray House Hotel has been internal. Now they have turned their attention to the outside.



The first job was challenging, but worthwhile and visible from miles around.

After that the terrace was refurbished in preparation for a fine summer. With seating for 25 people, and a fine view over Loch Earn and the hills beyond it's an ideal spot for an informal lunch, or a relaxing drink in the afternoon or early evening. So all we need now is the weather.......

Oh, and the challenging first job; they painted the weather vane on the top of the building with gold paint.

LETI: The Achray House hotel in Perthshire lies in the picturesque village of St Fillans, owned and run by Alan and Jane Gibson.  The new sun terrace and hotel restaurant offer stunning views over the East end of Loch Earn and the surrounding mountains.
