Wine and cheese in the valleys around Cheddar, led by a sustainability expert, with lunch at a Michelin-starred restaurant.



Photos from the tour listing.
A full day by minibus from the corner of the Asda car park in Bedminster, Bristol. The guide, who works in food and farming sustainability, takes you round the valleys near Cheddar to taste local natural wine and cheese and to learn how they are produced. Lunch is at one of a few restaurants that use local ingredients, and the day lasts about eight hours.
The focus on how food and wine are farmed sets this apart from a standard tasting trip. Wine tasting is for over-18s.
The listing does not name the producers or say how many stops there are, and a full day out of Bristol is a long one.
Best for: food-minded travellers who care where their wine and cheese come from.
