Step into the heart of rural Somerset with the Bath Soft Cheese Tour & Tasting, an exclusive guided dairy experience at a farm just outside Bath and one of England’s most celebrated artisan cheesemakers. Set among classic English rolling fields, this immersive visit offers a behind-the-scenes look at how award-winning cheeses are crafted from field to fork. Led by expert guides, learn about traditional and sustainable cheesemaking methods and follow the journey from fresh milk to finished cheese in the dairy. The experience concludes with a generous tasting of some of the country’s finest soft-cheese creations, perfectly paired with local accompaniments. A delicious lunch is also included, allowing guests to further enjoy the farm’s produce and relaxed countryside setting. Relax, savour, and soak up the charm of the English countryside—an ideal day out for food lovers, culture seekers, and anyone curious about Britain’s rich rural heritage.
This experience can be seamlessly woven into a wider private touring day, creating a beautifully balanced mix of food, history, countryside exploration, and local gastronomy.
The Bath Soft Cheese Tour & Tasting pairs wonderfully with time in the elegant city of Bath, where Roman history, Georgian architecture, and boutique shopping provide a cultural contrast to the rural dairy visit. Alternatively, continue into the South Cotswolds for honey-coloured villages, market towns, and scenic viewpoints, or head west toward Bristol for a vibrant harbour, street art, and excellent historical attractions.
For dedicated cheese lovers, the day can be extended deeper into Somerset with a journey to Cheddar, home of dramatic gorge scenery and legendary British cheese heritage. Or link in with nearby sites such as Avebury’s prehistoric stone circles and sweeping countryside landscapes. Together, these experiences create a rich flavour-led itinerary that showcases some of England’s most distinctive food traditions, cultural heritage, and rural scenery.

My brother and I grew up on our parent’s farm in rural Alabama, so when he, my mother, and the rest of the family came to visit me in a London, they wanted to see the British countryside. We couldn’t have picked a better guide for this than Robin Dale. Robin’s deep knowledge of the Cotswolds and adaptability made the tour one of the best parts of our trip. Josh, USA.
