In the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley

Love discovering a destination through its flavours? The Forest of Dean and Wye Valley is the perfect place for foodies looking to explore local produce, artisan makers, and unique culinary experiences.

This is a region that celebrates what it grows, brews, bakes, and distils. From vineyards and cider mills to farm shops, foraging tours, and award-winning restaurants, you’ll find a wealth of flavour rooted in the landscape and traditions of the area.

In this section, you’ll find food and drink producers, farm-to-fork experiences, tastings, markets, cookery classes, and more. Whether you’re nibbling on locally made cheese, enjoying a gin tasting, or stocking up on forest-foraged ingredients, there’s something here to tempt every palate.

You’ll also find plenty of places to stay and eat that take their food seriously. We love fireside pub grub, creative tasting menus, and afternoon teas served with a view. Perfect for a weekend of indulgence or a leisurely lunch on your day out.

Explore below and start planning your foodie journey through the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley.
