TOUR AND TASTING FOR TWO PEOPLE

With the new limited cafe opening hours we can now provide a dedicated appointment for our tour and tasting experience.

You will start with a behind the scenes tour with Allison.  It takes around 30-40 minutes and Allison will go through the cheese making process from the arrival of the milk, to the maturing process in the cold room.

Then join Jonathan in our cosy event space as he takes you around one of our cheese boards guiding you through different food pairings.

A glass of wine is included selected to complement our cheeses.

Finally, you will then be left to enjoy the rest of your cheese board at your leisure.

A dairy tour and tasting costs just £75 per couple. 

See below for dates.

 

Please note we pay above gate price for our milk so you are not only supporting us, you are supporting other local sustainable farms and family businesses.

What our customers say

Stayed here for 2 nights in glamping huts. Friday evening tapas at cafe was amazing, great food, local beers. Hut was secluded away from the farm, but great view, simple, comfortable, tranquil. Very dog friendly place - our dog Charlie was well fussed.. Cheese making course (Saturday) was fantastic, informative, so much that goes in to making their fantastic range of cheeses.. loved the Barney Brie, Teesdale goat, and of course the marvellous Doris. Breakfast at cafe was stunning, with rare breed pork bacon/sausages - amazing produce from people that are passionate about their food.

If you haven't been you don't know what you are missing.  Had a fantastic day making cheese and of course sampling it.  Allison and Jonathan are the perfect hosts.  An experience not to be missed.

A cheese lovers must do.
Fantastic day learning the intricacies of making cheese, very hands on, learned a lot with Allison guiding us through the process. This is a must for cheese lovers, I never liked blue cheese before our visit but happy to say I have been converted. Allison and Jonathan made us feel very welcome and we will visit again.
