Ringwood Brewery

Reviewed By 173louiset - Wisbech, United Kingdom

We went on a 6.30pm tour with Vincent and John and we were made very welcome. John was very informative about the history of Ringwood and instantly gave everyone a half pint of their excellent beer and then Vincent took us on a tour of the building, talking us through the brewing process. As my husband is a keen beer drinker we have been on several of these tours, but this was the best. It was explained step by step and we learnt a lot. We especially enjoyed tasting the barley in various stages and looking at the barrel process. After our tour we went back to John in the pub who talked through the different beers and generously handed out more to taste. I also had a go at pulling a pint. We are a varied group from 17 to 73 and we all thoroughly enjoyed our visit. At the end we were given our Ringwood glasses and a bottle of their tasty beer. After the tour we were given time to buy anything from the shop. John and Vincent were both knowledgeable and friendly and we didn't feel rushed at all, it felt like a nice evening at the local pub!!

Visited here with my fiancé today for a tour and wine tasting. Despite all the covid restrictions, our tour was fab, really informative and the weather held out! Our guide was lovely and the wine tasting at the end of the tour was really relaxed. We ended up buying two bottles to take home with us - the sparkling wine is lovely! Looking forward to the new restaurant to open and dine within the vine later this summer!

Called to collect an early Christmas gift as my wife had purchased 2 cases, 1 of which mixed case. Rather than pre package allowed us to hand pick which was great with helpful tips on each ale. Very friendly and welcoming service. Next visit will stay a little longer and enjoy the ales on site ????????

Artisan Bread Making New Forest

We offer a number of half day courses including Sourdough, Baguette, Croissant, Brioche & Gluten Free Breads. We will guide you through our hands-on courses which are dedicated to learning every stage of the artisan baking process, the easy way. No prior baking experience is necessary; just enthusiasm and a desire to make real bread. I will cut through all the theory and just show you an easy and fun way to make some classic breads for you to take home. All our courses give you the opportunity to blend your own flour selecting Wheat, Rye or Spelt organic grains using our beautiful 'Ko Mo' stone ground mill. See our website for more details.

My mother and I had an absolutely wonderful day out at Alan and Carol's lovely B&B, spending a half day learning the ins and outs of Artisan French Bread making etiquette. As a baking beginner myself, and also for my Mum who has a lot more experience, the course was pitched at a great level - Alan has time for all your questions and the techniques and recipes are accessible and fun. We made delicious croissants, french baguette and our own sourdough pizza bases (which we happily demolished for lunch :)) - all in a relaxed and instructive atmosphere. Would highly recommend to all!

Winchester Distillery

Reviewed By W6214KQnicolal

We first had Gunpowder Gin by this company on a cruise in the middle of the Fjords last year so it was great to then be sitting in the same room it was made. It was such an interesting tour with the founder Paul who gave a really interesting talk. We had a lovely drink on arrival and plenty of tastings to help choose what we wanted to purchase although there really was no hard sell but you won’t leave without wanting something as everything is so good. Definitely recommend a tour at Winchester Distillery! Keep up the good work.
