For those who prefer the indoors, Makers' Workshop is a must. Many of the crafts long-forgotten can be found here, from the hands-on experience of learning to make boutique paper, talk to the experts and sample some exotic cheeses at The Cheese Shop, to touring and tasting fine whiskeys. Be aware that most of the tours do have a modest fee.
