My daughter and I did a baking weekend course and I can honestly say what an amazing weekend we had. The chef, teacher was called Michael and he was so knowledgeable and friendly and showed us step by step what to do. The lovely Lily catered to our every need and did all the dishes with a smile ???? and we can away with so many fabulous goodies and new skills.

Grow your love of wine far beyond the bottle. From the muddy boots of winter pruning to the glimmering sunshine across our Devon vineyard at harvest, our love of wine has grown far beyond the bottle. The only thing we love more, is sharing it with you. So what are you waiting for? Join us for a tour, lunch in our kitchen or browse our local bottle + gift shop.

We booked the Vineyard Tour & lunch online (a Christmas present to ourselves!). Very easy to book. Tom showed us around the vines and was easy to chat to and knowledgeable. We had a taster session (really lovely Rose & white wine) followed by a delicious lunch in the new cafe. It is obvious that much time, energy and love have been invested into this family business and Alder Vineyard thoroughly deserve their success. We look forward to returning in the near future to see how things have developed.

Stannary Brewing Company is a small craft brewery & Taproom close to the centre of Tavistock, only a 5 minute walk from the main carparks and the 'Meadows' park. Stannary Brewing Co. was born out of a love of big flavoured beers. Taking our inspiration from beer styles from all over the world we love to develop fresh and exciting full flavoured craft beers, all our beers are unfiltered & un-fined which means they are vegan friendly. The Stannary Taproom is open every Friday evening 5:30pm till 11pm throughout the year and our Beer & BBQ Bash takes place on the last Saturday in each month, see full details on Facebook or Twitter. Stannary Tap' serves 10 beers fresh from the keg every week plus a range of our bottled beers. We also sell a small range of ciders & wines, local gins and some cans and bottles from our favourite breweries from around the world. Drop in and chill out with a craft beer sometime!

The brewery is tucked away, as so many are in a corner of an industrial area, but can be reached on foot very easily with a pleasant walk through the park. It's best to double check opening hours before turning up though just in case. Bring a stout bag to take home your shopping from the bottle shop!

An interesting selection of wines which you don’t often see elsewhere. Prices are always reasonable with some very good offers. Staff are knowledgeable and helpful. When I am in the area, a few times a year, I always go there to buy a case.

Saved from sitting dormant since its decommission in 1994, our still has been fully refurbished to restore it back to its former glory and is now producing smooth, sweet new make spirit made from Dartmoor barley. Inspired by the rugged land of Dartmoor on which we live and guided by our Master Distiller, Frank McHardy, our mission is to produce single malt whisky of unrivalled quality that encapsulates the true spirit of Dartmoor National Park.

Well worth a visit Simon is a great host very informative interesting talk all about the “history”of Dartmoor Whisky Distillery and the making of whisky. Please if your interested in local interest want to support them or just find out about whisky making go and enjoy an hour or so here. Do a little tasting and maybe purchase a bottle. Could do this trip on your own or as a couple group friends (not really for young children )

A rural cookery school set in the beautiful Dartmoor National Park. We offer a range of courses focusing on seasonal, local and foraged ingredients. You will get to taste delicious dishes, take things home for your friends and family to try, but most importantly learn new skills.

Had a fantastic day here, a gift from a friend. Colin is so knowledgeable and friendly. I've learned that you can eat so much more than sloes and nuts! We went around the 'school' garden picking out nettles, seed heads, herbs. Then we walked a short stretch of country lane and discovered dozens of plants that can be eaten, not all to my taste and some are very labour intensive, but so interesting. We then returned to the kitchens and each pod cooked a dish which we shared for lunch. During cooking Colin supplied us with delicious little bites of foraged food, who knew Japanese knotweed tastes like rhubarb, yum! I would recommend Ground Up Cookery to anyone.

I went a bit out of my way to try this place and I am glad i did. The people are really welcoming and helpful and the scrumpy is great and well priced. The actual place is quite historical and looks great. Although parking was a very minor problem overall was a welcoming and satisfied experience.
