Bursting with real home-grown ingredients Herefordshire and The Marches is THE region to nurture a whole new generation of incredible artisan food and drink products and producers enthusiastic to give you a sample of what’s new on the taste-bud scene.
From cider icecream to chic Cassis, bread so gentle because it takes three days to prove to vodka made from the humble potato, we’ll show you how to get a peek behind the production scenes and even get hands-on with making your very own, very special flavour of Herefordshire to take home.
Create your own foodie tour; download our route planner under ‘Groups’ on or website, or contact our team to guide you to a very personal experience of our delicious region.
Or check the map in this book to locate the businesses on these pages offering tours and tasting experiences, where you can meet the makers themselves and go home with your favourite find.
Often the best way to sample local produce is at one of the many food festivals. Oh look, here’s a handy diary of them...
