Cider Making workshop
A BIT ABOUT THE DAY
Our Cider Making course will let you in on the secrets of truly great home-made cider in the most magical of places in the heart of Somerset among 180 acres of cider apple orchards at the base of Burrow Hill, on a farm that has been pressing cider for over 200 years.
You’ll start the day at Burrow Hill Cider with your hosts Managing Director Matilda Temperley and Cider maker Jake White. You will learn all about the history, importance and future of cider making in the region on your tour of the facilities, varieties of apples used and you will have a tour of the Burrow Hill cider making facilities.
Then it is off into the cider orchards and see over 50 different varieties of apples growing. You will be told how to differentiate between the main types of apples (bittersweet, sharp, bittersharp and sweet) by taste and collect a variety of apples for pressing directly from the farm for your cider.
Then it is back to Burrow Hill cider to mill the fruit and see the press in action.
After pressing your juice will be gathered whilst you move to New Cross Farmhouse for a luncheon with a selection of ciders in the formal dining room.
After lunch we will move to the Tudor dairy at New Cross Farmhouse where your juice has been magically transported and get hands-on with practical cider making in your own 5-litre glass jar to fill and to continue the cider making process at home. This is a fun afternoon with cider while you create and work.
Please remember to bring wellington boots (or footwear that can get muddy) and coats etc that are warm and appropriate for the weather on the day. This will make our leisurely afternoon in the orchards much more comfortable!
