DESCRIPTION

Honey is a remarkable food, medicine and ingredient. The taste, viscosity, colour and aromas are linked directly to the floral sources available to the bees. In this immersive experience, you will join a local food and wine enthusiast, beekeeper and bon vivant on a honey tasting, overview of the lifecycle of a colony and then suit up and visit a beehive!

The honey tasting provides a unique insight into the different tastes and textures that the bees make as they forage on different flowering plants at various stages in their flowering. We get to taste honey collected weeks and sometimes days apart and compare them. Each has a highly distinctive colour, aroma, flavour and viscosity. All of this morning tea and freshly baked scones.

After the morning tea and tasting we “suit up” in a professional sting proof suit, light a smoker and visit the bees. You’ll be shown through the different styles and sizes of hives.

During Winter (May – September), we don’t open the hives as it’s too cold for the baby bees but we get up close to observe the bees coming and going and view them through specially designed glass hive windows.
Parts of the apiary are undercover, so rain isn’t a problem.

Sample Menu

• Sourdough – Freshly baked sourdough for your visit to go alongside the tea and coffee.
