Full-Day Small-Group Cheese- and Cider-Tasting Tour from Bayeux

Your tour starts with hotel pickup in Bayeux. With your driver-guide, head to your first stop, where you'll try an authentic Camembert made with raw milk at the last-standing farm in the village of Camembert that makes the cheese on site. Then go to the Livarot Dairy where they make awesome ancient cheeses of Normandy.

Enjoy hearty samples of the farm-made cheeses with a glass of local cider.

Then head to a dairy that also works with raw milk, and learn how to recognize the differences between cheeses. If you select the lunch option when booking, this takes place next outside at a local village, weather permitting. Designed for those without any dietary restrictions, lunch consists of local Normandy products.

In the afternoon, the focus of your tour switches to Normandy's apple and pear beverages—hard apple cider, hard pear cider, pommeau, and calvados. Depending on the availability of the producers, you'll visit a traditional cider farm or an estate wine-oriented cider maker near Cambremer

If you are not too tired after all this, a small surprise awaits you before your tour ends with return to Bayeux for drop-off, Beuvron-en-Auge of of France's nicest villages.
