Cotswold Cheese & Ale

Join us on this unique tour as one of our private drivers takes you to a local organic dairy farm in the Cotswold countryside where the owner’s family have been farming for over 500 years. Milk has been produced at the Farm for centuries – you’ll get the chance to meet the ’girls’ who work hard every day to provide rich milk for the cheese. Every morning the milk travels just five metres from the milking shed to the Creamery, where the expert cheesemakers turn it into a delicious range of artisan products such as Cotswold Brie, Single Gloucester, and Truffled Gloucester. You will be led through the process by the owner and understand how these beautiful cheeses are made; before sampling their award-winning products.

We will head off to the quintessential villages of Lower and Upper Slaughter and take in these famous Cotswold sites before a relaxing country pub lunch.

The afternoon will be a mix of sightseeing and then a visit to a local brewery that has been in operation since 1865. Today, the beer is still brewed the same way as 155 years ago and the owner will explain the unique process they have here in the Cotswolds. After the tour and visit of the brewery you will have a chance to try a few of their best ales in the cellar and then walk the stunning property with it’s own private river that supplies the water for the beer.

To finish the day, we could take in a Cotswold afternoon tea at Buckland Manor or Lords of the Manor. This is truly a unique British experience celebrating local Cotswold Food and Ale.
