Fans of The Traitors can now step inside their own real-life round table. Luxury tour operator Unforgettable Travel has launched an all-new “Castles and Conspiracies” itinerary across the Scottish Highlands, a journey designed to immerse travelers in the intrigue, mystery, and moody landscapes that define the hit reality show. Timed with the excitement around The Traitors Season 4 cast reveal, the 11-night adventure invites travelers to explore Scotland’s castles, ruins, and cinematic backdrops for $13,000 per person.

While the series is filmed inside Ardross Castle near Inverness, this itinerary widens the drama across some of Scotland’s most evocative settings. Highlights include a stay at the lavish Inverlochy Castle Hotel, a property so atmospheric it practically begs for whispered alliances.

Travelers will also visit the aquamarine Fairy Pools of Glenbrittle, trek through the Highlands in search of secrets at Loch Ness, and wander the ancient Clava Cairns, a Bronze Age site that feels straight out of a tense late-night confession.

Inside Scotland’s most dramatic, Traitors-inspired adventure

The experience begins in lively Glasgow, where travelers settle in before heading north through iconic locations like Loch Lomond, the rugged valleys of Glencoe, and the famed Road to the Isles. On the Isle of Skye, guests explore Dunvegan Castle, the mythical Fairy Glen, and dramatic landmarks such as the Old Man of Storr, Kilt Rock, and The Quiraing.

The journey continues to The Torridon, a luxurious retreat offering hikes, canoeing, whisky tastings, and breathtaking Highland scenery. Along the way, travelers visit the romantic ruins of Armadale Castle, the storybook Eilean Donan Castle, and even stop at Loch Ness for a potential Nessie sighting.

The package includes 8 nights in four- or five-star accommodations, three nights at The Torridon, private transfers, English-speaking guides, activity fees, and 24/7 support. It excludes international flights, gratuities, and optional meals or activities.

Cafe Charmant, The Corner Store Crew’s Latest, Puts Food Ahead of the Scene

Clothing, Long Sleeve, Sleeve

I’ll be honest. If I weren’t a writer, there is no way in hell I could have landed a 7:15 Saturday night reservation at Cafe Charmant just a mere four weeks after its opening. The most recent jewel in the buzzy Catch Hospitality Group’s crown, the glitzy eatery is the newest IT restaurant to hit the downtown scene, so chalk it up to one of the perks of the job that I could walk in, order a drink, and be ushered to a corner table for two in under 10 minutes.

Though the state of making prime reservations in New York City may not come as a surprise to many, I’m still not able to reconcile with the current velvet rope of so many of this city’s restaurants. Sure, the 90s and early 2000’s had their Indochine, Moomba (if you remember that one, we need to grab a drink). The Waverly Inn, but for the most part, you could easily make a reservation or even walk in and wait for a table with a cocktail in hand at most popular establishments. And, let’s be honest, half the people weren’t even eating, if you know what I mean.

A tasting guide to Livermore Valley, California’s friendliest wine country

Adult, Male, Man

Livermore Valley sits in Northern California’s East Bay, where the hustle and bustle of neighboring Oakland and San Francisco give way to grassy rolling hills, big open skies, and over 40 tasting rooms. The region is home to some of the best wines I’ve tasted in the state, without the pretense and rigidity I’ve come to expect from other tasting rooms in the region.

And thanks to the valley’s marine-influenced winds, varied climate, and diverse soils, I tasted an unusually broad range of wines. Crisp whites, structured reds, and everything in between seem to be able to find their footing here.

High Society, Low Alcohol: A Trip to the Hamptons with Heineken 0.0

Ball, Sport, Tennis

After a multi-year bender of back-to-back press trips, I decided to swear off travel this past summer. The old dog was tired, and I desperately wanted to reconnect with old friends, visit family, and continue wooing a lovely lady in New York. Oh, and I needed to find time to actually write the stories I had promised publicists in exchange for gallivanting around the globe on their dime. I am, after all, a professional.

As summer raced by, my inbox swelled with tantalizing invitations. I turned them down one after the next with Spartan fortitude. A junket to the Loire Valley to review wineries? Thank you for considering me, but for the next few weeks, I’m committed to rekindling my relationship with my bed. A sailboat cruise on the Amalfi Coast? I hear it’s beautiful this time of year, but sadly, I’m in the weeds bingeing Landman.
