At first I was hesitant to book this tour because of the price. But with a Michelin star chef, a tour of his garden, two amazing wineries, and a trip to Cheddar with private cheese tasting, all on a comfortable minibus, it was well worth the price! Our guide, Florence, was very knowledgeable about viticulture and sustainable food and wine and extremely helpful and accommodating given that one of us had difficulties walking very far. A highlight of our days in Bristol!
A great find

A wonderful day - highly recommended The tour was relaxed and really informative. Who knew wine making is so complex? And then you taste the end result. And the cheese making was fun too. Florence was just great. Fun and friendly and had everything brilliantly organised. I've since convinced two friends to book a trip.
Amazing Day Out

This has to be one of the best trips I have been on. Florence the tour guide was so friendly and informative. The vineyards we visited were beautiful and brilliant. We were so well informed about the vineyards by the owners, and the wines were bloody delicious. The cheese tasting and visit round the Cheddar factory was excellent and the cheeses were so tasty. I would thoroughly recommend this trip.
Brilliant tour of Somerset!

We absolutely loved the Wine & Cheese Tour. It was a brilliant mix of beautiful locations and amazing flavours. Each stop offered something different, from the vineyard views to cheesemaking in Cheddar, and lunch at The Pony was a real treat. You could tell how much care had gone into planning the day. A brilliant way to explore Somerset’s food and drink scene. We’re already thinking about booking another GOOD tour!

We had a great time, really enjoyed visiting some local producers and learning about their businesses and what goes into growing different varieties of grapes, different techniques to create the wine, and of course making cheese! We were able to ask lots of questions, sample lots of delicious cheese and wine, and the light lunch at “The Pony” was a real treat along with the tour of their produce garden. Florence definitely helped make it a fun experience, getting to know everyone throughout the day, and kept spirits high despite a few drops of rain (which actually didn’t take away from the experience at all). Would definitely recommend.
Brilliant day out

My friends bought me a ticket for my birthday and we had THE BEST DAY EVER!! So much fun, so much wine! Florence was a great host, and we couldn't believe how much you get for your money. We've all decided to come back with our mum's in the autumn! 😂 Thank you for a great day xxx
