SOMERSET & BRISTOL
During Ascension weekend (29/05 - 01/06 2025) MALZ TOURS is setting off again. This time we're going abroad. Bristol was the UK's first official cycling city, European Green Capital in 2015 & was elected best place to live outside of London.
Even more interestingly, Bristol has a renowned food & drink scene, & is the gateway to Somerset, the cider region & home to cheddar cheese.
This time we'll host a group of 20 Burgundians, visiting breweries, orchards, dairies & cheesemongers, smokers, distilleries & cellars while cruising the English countryside & walking the busy streets of Bristol.
We'll stay for three nights at a three star hotel right across the Left Handed Giant Brewpub, in the center of Bristol.
