Totally food and drink - hands on or not, it's up to you!

Any self-confessed food lover wanting to experience new things in the world of food and drink will absolutely love all the activities, workshops, gifts and days out in this section. Some offer visits and guided tours, others see you avidly watching demonstrations, whilst many let you roll up your sleeves and get stuck in to have a go yourself.

If you don't fancy being hands on (maybe you have enough of all that cooking and stuff at home?) then we've got plenty of gourmet and culinary experiences where you will be treated like VIP guests. We're talking, for example, about stepping back to the bygone age of luxury rail travel, with a meal served onboard a steam train for gourmet dining with a cultural twist.

Vino lovers, coffee fans & cocktail connoisseurs

Sitting down to a nice meal is one thing, but what about the drinks to accompany your food? Perhaps you're all about a nice little relaxed visit to a vineyard, where you do nothing more strenuous than sip from your constantly replenished glass?

Or maybe you’re partial to a fancy cocktail or two? We’ve got cocktail making classes and spirit tasting courses to suit all palates. And of course, now we are a nation of coffee drinkers in the morning, booking a barista coffee course ensures you can make a mean latte!
