Let's get the last of the summer wine on our trip out in the South of Nottinghamshire through quaint villages, country lanes and a peaceful canal paths. The heart of Nottinghamshire’s food industry, the King of the Cheeses, Stilton, is made in three villages South of Nottingham.
We will pass through two of these villages collecting varieties of Stilton before we stop at a chocolaterie for coffee and a chance to sample some delicious homemade chocolates. Following this we head to Hanwell Wine Estate where we will have lunch at the cafe and of course sample the wines produced by the vineyard. We will then have time to wander the vines before leisurely heading back to Nottingham via the peaceful Grantham Canal.
The price includes wine sampling at Hanwell Wine Estate.
