Food & Drink Experiences

Here in the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley, we have a wealth of foodie experiences available for you to try your hand at, with a wealth of artisan produce and independent businesses. From gin making to foraging, and bread making to chocolate truffles, you will find a wide range of activities to tickle your taste buds!

If you'd like to learn how to cook, you're in the right place. With experiences that cover everything from cookery basics to baking artisan bread or making pasta, this is the place for foodies who enjoy cooking as much as they enjoy eating!

Or, if you'd like the opportunity to combine your love for food with the nature that can be found here in the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley, why not opt for a foraging experience and take the opportunity to learn about what grows in our hedgerows and forests?

To get a sneak peek at how your favourite drinks are made, spend an hour or two exploring a gin distillery and testing unique spirits on a distillery tour, or discover the area's cider orchards with one of our local cider makers, who offer a range of activities and experiences to delight cider fans.

If you're interested in taking part in one of the many food and drink experiences and classes that happen throughout the year, make sure you check out our What's On page.
