Edinburgh's pink perfect summer – the city's first rosé wine trail taking flight
Edinburgh is about to get a rosy glow this summer with the launch of the city's inaugural Rosé Wine Trail. This promises to be a delightful journey transforming a typical afternoon or evening out into a sophisticated wine adventure exploring different areas of the city – great if you have friends visiting.
The trail features three distinguished venues from the Signature Group: McLarens on the Corner in Morningside, The Huxley on Rutland Street, and Copper Blossom on George Street, each offering its own unique atmosphere.
Wine enthusiasts can indulge in carefully curated rosé selections, creative rosé-inspired cocktails, or opt for the complete experience with a tasting flight.
The £15 flight offers three 125ml glasses each of the crisp Mirabello Adria Vini from Lombardia, Italy; the classic Château Routas from Côtes de Provence, France; and the sophisticated M by Minuty, also from Côtes de Provence.
For those seeking bubbles, the selection extends to include Della Vite Rosé Sparkling from Valdobbiadene and their non-alcoholic sparkling alternative for designated drivers and non-drinkers.
The experience goes beyond just wine, with each venue offering an array of carefully crafted small bites designed to complement the rosé selection.
Expect indulgent treats like baked Camembert served with focaccia croutons and fresh crudités, aromatic garlic-buttered flatbreads paired with pomegranate and baked beetroot hummus, perfectly charred tikka skewers, and the uniquely Scottish touch of haggis bon bons accompanied by blistered Padrón peppers.
The trail operates on a delightfully interactive passport system – collect your free passport from any participating venue, gather stamps from each stop, and you'll be entered into a draw for the ultimate prize: a dreamy getaway to Provence, the very heart of rosé country.
This summer initiative perfectly captures Edinburgh's evolving food and drink scene, combining the city's love for quality wine with its appetite for culinary exploration.
Whether you're a rosé aficionado or simply curious about pink wine, this trail offers an accessible and enjoyable way to discover new flavours while exploring different corners of the city.
