Epicurean Experiences
Sample the best local food and drink in our bountiful corner of the world
Every traveller worth their salt knows that one of the best – and most enjoyable – ways of getting to know an area is through its food. Luckily here in the North of England and the South of Scotland we’re spoilt for choice with a mouth-watering array of epicurean experiences. From cookery classes and wild dining experiences to stargazing suppers and cocktail masterclasses held high in the Northumberland moors, we’ve cherry picked a handful of experiences to suit every appetite.
Cocktails in the Wilderness
Northumberland
Rewild your drinking experience on your next visit to Northumberland with a trip to Hepple Spirits. Exclusive to C&C guests, you’ll be taken on a private tour of the Hepple distillery, followed by a fragrant botanical walk around the estate looking at the wild juniper bushes and Douglas Fir trees that give the spirits their unique flavour, before heading to a secret, hidden bar in the moors where you’ll enjoy a tasting, a cocktail or a classic gin and tonic.
Should you prefer to transport your tastebuds from the comfort of your C&C holiday home, you can instead opt for a cocktail and oyster masterclass, whereby a local bartender will show you how to serve up a perfect Hepple martini, which you can enjoy alongside a plate of fresh oysters.
