What's included in the EUR 1200 price?

Private minivan transport, a local guide for 9 hours, visits to multiple cheese, cider, and Calvados producers, and meals/tastings at select restaurants. Confirm exact inclusions (e.g., which meals and how many producer tastings) when booking, as packages may vary.

Can I customize the itinerary or skip certain producers?

Yes—this is a private tour designed for groups of up to 6 people, so your guide can adapt stops based on your interests. Discuss preferences (dietary needs, specific producers, extra time in certain villages) when booking.

How much time do we spend at each producer?

The itinerary typically includes 20–40 minutes per stop (cheese makers, distilleries, restaurants) to allow for tours, production demonstrations, and tastings. The guide paces the day to avoid feeling rushed while covering multiple locations.

Is this tour suitable for non-drinkers or those avoiding alcohol?

Yes. Inform your guide of any preferences when booking, and they can arrange alternative tastings (grape juice, water, coffee) at cider and Calvados stops. All food-focused producers accommodate non-drinkers.

What should I wear and bring?

Wear comfortable walking shoes suitable for uneven floors in producer facilities. Bring a light jacket (weather varies), sunscreen, and cash for purchasing products directly from makers. Dress in layers, especially in spring and autumn.

Can I purchase products directly from producers during the tour?

Yes. Most producers sell their cheeses, ciders, and Calvados on-site. Your guide can advise on quality and help arrange shipping if you buy larger quantities. Many also accept online orders after your visit.

our host Wei was brilliant and a fish taco from a tiny street stall was the highlight, and miles ahead of a similar food tour we tried in Bangkok.
