Loving Welsh Food’s Cardiff Tasting Tours, which
include plenty of walking (to work up a good appetite) and some
delicious tasters, recommence tomorrow (15 January) and will take
place every Friday until 25 November 2016.
The aim of the tour is
to enable guests to visit the capital city and enjoy the different
foods on offer. There’s a strong emphasis on Welsh food,
but the cosmopolitan city of Cardiff has a thriving food scene
with many ethnic and continental foods.
The tastings include charcuterie, cheeses, Welsh
beverages, cockles & laverbread (seaweed) and more.
“All the
guests like the variety, trying new dishes and discovering the
best places to eat, drink and shop,” said Sian B Roberts from
Loving Welsh Food. “Conor and Rachael from RIT Vacations in Canada
were on their first visit to Wales recently. Conor wasn’t sure
which was the most frightening – the zipwire in North Wales or
trying the laverbread on our tour! Rachel, who loves all kinds of
fish and seafood, was a big fan. Conor - not as keen! He said the
Brains beer tastings just before visiting the market, helped him
face the challenge!”
As well as trying different foods, the tour passes
key landmarks including Cardiff Castle, Bute
Park, the majestic Civic Centre, the stunning Victorian Arcades
and Principality Stadium ‘the home of Welsh rugby’.
“It’s not just visitors that come on the tour. People who
have lived in Cardiff for years enjoy rediscovering the city and
seeing it from a tourist’s point of view,” Sian added.
Tours
run every Friday from 15 January to 25 November 2016 (apart from
Friday, 26 February which is Rugby International Day). The tour
starts at 10:30 at Cardiff Castle and ends at 14:30.
Loving Welsh Food’s Cardiff Tasting Tours cost £30 per adult, £12.50 per child.
