with a Honey Connoisseur trained by experts in Bologna, Italy
An adventure into the tastes, textures and aromas of honeys from around the world. Let me help you explore how and why honey flavours differ, how honey is made and harvested, what makes a good honey and the do’s and don’ts of the honey world. Enjoy a variety of cheeses paired with unique and unusual honeys, and then explore your own combinations. And because we are in a vineyard, there is wine too!
This experience will take place at New Lodge Vineyard, Earls Barton, Northampton, on dates to be agreed between April and September.
If this is a gift, just leave a note in the message box on the buying page, and I will send a presentation gift card to the lucky recipient!
Lip Balm Making Workshop
Come along to a hands on workshop creating your own formulation for the perfect lip balm and leave with tins, jars or tubes for you to give away to friends, or keep all to yourself. The combination of organic oils, butters, essential oils, natural flavourings and colourings as well as packaging, will ensure that no two signature balms are the same.
