We made a stop at the Elephants Rock Cider Factory. We had an unforgettable experience tasting various ciders at Denmark’s first cider factory – Apple & Pear, Pear, Apple, Sweet Apple, Strawberry, Apple Ginger and Oaked Scrumpy. We had to try them all. The cider factory is also home to the toffee factory, ‘bit on the side’ (which is a range of gourmet sauces, preserves, chutneys) and a ½ kilo ice cream cone. We had to try it all. We bought some pickled garlic, asparagus chutney and some mayo’s. Of course we also took home a selection of ciders.
We then headed off to the Bartholomew’s Meadery where Dad tasted Mead for the very first time. They also have a range of different flavours of honey including chocolate and hazelnut.
Forrest Hill Winery was our stop for lunch. Forrest Hill is family-owned boutique winery. Dad had seafood chowder and Becki & I shared a tasting platter and we drank a bottle of Forrest Hill Riesling. Then it was downstairs into the cellar to taste the wines.
