Staying at a Hipcamp at the Denmark farmhouse cheese & winery . The bus was positioned right in front of the winery and walking distance to the restaurant, They specialised in cheese making, the cold meats are brought in, the grapes they grow are sent to a wine maker in Denmark to be processed. Core custom is the wine/cheese combo platers.
We ordered one of the platters with a bottle of sparkling Shiraz which is extremely addictive.
We covered so much in Denmark.
The good food factory, the home of homemade sauces and Elephants rock cider.

After a few tasters we purchased a bottle of Metheglin, something different to what we had been tasting , you heat it like mulled wine.
Metheglin is a special kind of mead made by mixing honey, water, spices, and herbs. This combination adds unique flavors that traditional mead doesn’t have.
The word “metheglin” comes from Welsh origins, meaning medicated or healing liquor. People used to think it had medicinal benefits because of the herbs in it.
Making metheglin involves heating water with spices and herbs, then adding honey and fermenting the mixture with yeast. This process can take some time as the flavors need to blend well together.
There are many types of metheglin with different tastes. Spices like cinnamon and cloves add warmth while herbs such as lavender give a floral touch. Each region has its own version based on local ingredients.
