Hide AdDMO chairman Garry Marsden said: "We know that visitors to Royal Deeside and the Cairngorms enjoy authentic, local food - and there can be no finer example of this than the game that roams our estates.
"This unique event will offer first-timers and venison connoisseurs alike the opportunity to taste some of the very finest Scottish venison in some unusual settings.
"They'll also get a fascinating insight into the important role that venison plays in Royal Deeside's Larder."
He added: "Venison has been seen as a meat only for the elite, but we want to show that it can be enjoyed by everyone."
