Amazing day out
What an Amazing day out with the family, seeing a few spots I would never have thought to have stopped at. The quality of the food was impressive—everything was fresh, local, and thoughtfully chosen. From artisan cheeses to freshly baked bread, there was something for everyone. The spot we ended up in for the picnic was wonderful, with a fantastic view.

A perfect day out!
This experience was really good - we enjoyed exploring the region and figuring out all the clues to collect our goodies. It allowed us to discover places we wouldn't have probably found or visited otherwise. Everything was so delicious, and we definitely recommend this activity. A huge thank you to Philippa who was so welcoming, organised and knowledgeable.
