Join the distillery to a practical overnight stop
Each distillery page can show nearby campsites, touring stays and other accommodation close enough to make the trip work.
Choose a whisky region →Plan the non-touring partner's day too
Build in nearby walks, cafés, history, shopping or other activities so collection after the tour fits naturally into the day.
Plan a day for two →I wanted a practical way to plan the whisky trips we actually take.
I don't drive, but I enjoy the idea of visiting Scotch whisky distilleries while travelling in our microcamper. My wife drives, and sometimes the distillery will interest her too. Other times it won't.
So the useful question is bigger than “where is the distillery?” It is: where can we stay, what can she enjoy nearby, how long does the visit take, and when should she come back so neither of us spends the afternoon waiting around?
Read the storyA whisky distillery can be part of the day without making the whole day about the distillery.
That is the problem MicroCamperLife is being built to solve — first for our own trips, and then for anyone else travelling the same way.
