Rowan Tree Travel fulfilled this yarn-obsessed knitters dream come true with their Wool and Whisky tour in Scotland. I usually travel on my own, but this tour far exceeded my expectations. We were immersed in all-things-yarn for ten days in beautiful Scotland. Attention to culturally rich experiences along with fabulous food and yarn-buying opportunities galore made this trip memorable. The land, the sea, the Highlands, the historic mills, the truly dedicated local artisan producers and crafters all contributed to this trip of a lifetime. The accommodations were charming and first-rate, as was the food, and the whisky! Rowan Tree Travel's Fiber Ambassadors are the perfect guides on this fiber tour.

I loved every minute of Iceland. Our guide Anna was so knowledgeable about her country and shared all of these facts, sagas and ghost stories with the group . The yarn shops and farm visits provided great shopping trips. The accommodations and meals were way above average and the bus driver was so sweet.

You can’t go wrong with this your even if you are not an experienced knitter. The experience was fabulous!

This was my very first trip with Rowan Tree Travel and it did not disappoint! Tour hosts Heather and Sydney went above and beyond to make every single participant feel welcomed and comfortable and cared for. The travel itinerary was very well planned out, and included a good amount of rest/down time as well as free time for all. I absolutely will sign up for other such trips, and highly recommend these to anyone who enjoys a vacation of knitting combined with cultural events.

I joined the Silver Screen Fashions tour alone figuring I would meet kindred spirits and I was not wrong. It was the perfect mix of Old Hollywood history, glamour and niche knitting with 20 new besties. I'm not usually a "tour" person but Rowan Tree Travel trips go to places so specific to my fiber interests that I might not get to explore on my own. Looking forward to going on another trip!

Rowen Tree was my first experience with a tour group and they have made a customer for life. I am already looking for new trips to take with them. With Heather, Sydney and Tasha this wasn't just a vacation this was a family trip with the family you always wanted to have. 12/10 would recommend.

What a wonderful trip this was. It had the right balance of wool, whiskey and great food and was very well organized. Scotland is a beautiful country and the people were very welcoming. Lots of beautiful yarn is produced there and I loved how many of the people we visited with are doing their best to support each other in the chain of yarn production. We saw sheep everywhere and it was lambing season, so lots of babies in the fields😊 I would definitely do another trip with Rowan Tree!

The Wool and Wonders of Iceland tour exceeded my expectations. The scenery was amazing and the visits to the sheep and goat farms and to the dyers’ shops were fascinating. Needless to say, I bought a lot of yarn. Most of which we don’t have available to us in the States.

Diverse range of activities. Excellent leaders and wonderful friendships made.

This trip was the best way to explore LA for a person who has never been there and is a vintage fashion and film enthusiast. It felt very different to the trips I've attended before. I think it's because of the sense of community - being with people who have the same interests. Even though English is not my mother language, everyone was very understanding and helpful (even regarding organising our prolonged stay in LA after our trip was finished!). The trip itself was very well balanced - enough time to explore, shop, eat, relax and socialize. Looking forward to our next adventure with Rowan Tree Travel :)

The Silver Screen Fashions tour was my first Rowan Tree Travel tour, and it won't be my last. Each day was a unique experience paired with good food and even better company. I traveled to the tour alone, but immediately connected with the other attendees. We shared our passions for knitting, sewing, crocheting and other niche interests while touring the museums of Hollywood and walking the decks of the Queen Mary. I travelled alone and returned with lasting memories and friendships.

As a husband to a knitter and not being a knitter myself plus being the only male on the tour it was still one of the best trips I have ever experienced. The day tours were extremely interesting and informative.
