Wow,Food Tours!

For those lovers of cheese, you can visit The Blaenafon Cheddar Company in  Blaneavon, a World Heritage Site. Here you will find a selection of hand made Cheddar and goat’s cheese made with quality local ingredients - one of which is matured underground at the neighbouring Big Pit Mining Museum. As you’re in Blaenavon take this opportunity to pop down to Big Pit. The underground tour takes you 92 metres (300 feet) underground with a real miner. 

If you get quite thirsty your next stop will be the Welsh Whisky Company, situated in the small village of Penderyn, within the Brecon Beacons National Park. It’s the only distillery left in Wales and one of the smallest in the world. Not only does it produce the finest quality single malt whisky but also a range of Welsh spirits such as Merlyn liqueur, Brecon Vodka and Brecon Gin. Visitors can experience the distilling, bottling process and the history of whisky making in Wales. And of course you’ll get to sample the spirits.

Finally you need a dessert? And you LOVE CHOCOLATES! Run to Pemberton's Welsh Chocolate Farm, near St. Clears, is the place to see (and taste) handmade chocolates as they are produced. You will also have the chance to make your own chocolate. Its appetising shop is brimming with chocolates, fudge, sweets, jams, pickles, preserves and chutneys.
