The harvest is in full swing throughout autumn, with the bushes laden with berries and fungi carpeting the forest floor and meadows. Get involved in one of the foodie experiences to feast on the autumn bounty.
Harts Barn Cookery School host Forage and Feast workshops, with participants taken out into the surrounding hedgerows, woods and fields to fill a basket with a bounty of nuts, berries and mushrooms before returning to the school to create a feast of infused tea, bread, savoury dishes and something sweet to finish off with.
Parva Farm Vineyard in Tintern is perfectly located for autumnal views over the surrounding Wye Valley and down to Tintern below. A self-guided walk is available around the vines when they are at their most vibrant, with signs indicating the best Leaf Peeping viewpoints over the valley. Once the walk is over, enjoy a wine tasting session sampling Parva’s whites, reds and rosés.
Boutique hotel Tudor Farmhouse is offering guided group foraging courses, heading off the beaten track to search for wild ingredients before foodie finds are handed over to the hotel’s head chef, who will use them to create a gourmet lunch. The hotel also serves a special Leaf Peepers Fizz cocktail throughout autumn to revive all those thirsty peepers after their foliage frenzy, made with local sloe gin, prosecco and rosemary picked from their own garden.
