London, will delight those with an appetite for Great British
brewing innovation. Sample some sublime beers, paired with great
food – all courtesy of the humble honey bee!
In the UK, people have been brewing with honey for centuries.
Honey-based mead was guzzled by newly wedded pagans and remained
popular until around the 17th century, when cheap sugar imports led
to a decline in domestic bee-keeping. Happily, however, the story
didn’t end there. Today, honey brews are making a comeback, driven
by inventive brewers taking a contemporary approach to traditional
methods. During this tasting experience, in London, you’ll enjoy
samples provided by one such pioneer – the award-winning, Hiver
Beers. Their celebrated beers are made using honey ethically
sourced from both urban and rural hives. Over an hour, you’ll
sample the best they have to offer – including their signature
blonde beer and aromatic brown ale. These are each paired with
tasty food for a flavour sensation that’ll leave you buzzing.

These animals are curious beings and don't have the same obedience as dogs, so expect lots of stopping to nibble on the grass and the occasional sniff of your hair. Most of the time it feels like they are walking you! The experience takes place on a beautiful farm in the north Devon countryside, owned by a friendly couple who will happily show you around and introduce you to the various animals. Once you've been paired with your alpaca, your group will set off on an hour long trek through the flora and fauna, taking in the breath-taking views and getting to know your woolly companion. Back at the farm, you'll have the opportunity to meet the sheep and goats who also reside there, getting a chance to bottle-feed them and give them a little cuddle if you're lucky. Lambing season is January to April and baby goats make an appearance between April and October, perfect times to go! This Alpaca Trekking and Petting Experience in Devon makes a fantastic family day out, or a unique gift for your animal-loving friend."
