The Old World Butter Making Experience

1 hour (approximately)
Offered in: English

This elevated, hands‑on experience stands apart by offering a rare opportunity to step back in time and engage with the craft of traditional dairy making in a luxurious yet delightfully playful way. Your journey begins with the charming novelty of “milking” our metallic Shirl the Sheep, setting the tone for an experience that blends heritage, humour, and refined craftsmanship. Guided by a skilled Tasting House expert, you’ll learn how butter was created before electricity, when every step demanded patience and intention. You’ll churn, wash, shape, and wrap your own butter entirely by hand, connecting with a process that feels both nostalgic and deeply satisfying. The result is a beautifully personal keepsake — a block of butter crafted by you, ready to take home and share. It’s an immersive, premium encounter with tradition that you won’t find anywhere else.
