You can enjoy the dramatic landscapes and visit distilleries without the queues, often at reduced tour prices or with more availability for free tastings. Public transport, primarily local buses, remains a cost-effective way for solo travellers to explore, and with fewer tourists, you might find a more authentic local experience.
