Local Produce

In the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley

The Forest of Dean and Wye Valley is home to some of the finest artisan food and drink producers, offering everything from award-winning cheeses and traditional ciders to organic vegetables and freshly smoked Severn salmon. With vineyards, breweries, and farm shops scattered across the region, this is a place where quality, sustainability, and passion for local ingredients shine through.

Many producers have on-site farm shops, allowing you to sample and buy directly from the source. Whether you’re picking up a few essentials, creating a cheese and wine night from local ingredients, or choosing a handmade hamper full of regional treats, there’s no better way to enjoy the true flavours of the area. Delis and farm shops across the region stock locally made chutneys, free-range eggs, artisan bread, and seasonal produce, ensuring you can taste the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley wherever you go.

For a hands-on experience, why not book a food or drink experience day? Join a gin-making session, learn the art of cider brewing, try your hand at cheesemaking, or indulge in a chocolate truffle-making class. With tours, tastings, and workshops available, exploring local produce isn’t just about eating - it’s about immersing yourself in the craft and tradition that makes this region special.
