About Little Pomona, Wilding Cider & L’affinage du Fromage Cheese & Cider Tasting

Sam & Beccy Leach are custodians of beautiful organic orchards in the Chew valley producing soulful ciders and perry whilst practicing regenerative farming. Fruit is picked from the ground, in the old way, left to mature and ripened before pressing. Fermentation is slow and gentle with wild yeasts, time and now sulphates.

Little Pomona launched onto the market in 2017, Susanna and James Forbes' story started a few years earlier, when they found their dream orchard in Thornbury, North Herefordshire: 120 trees with four classic cider apple varieties. Inspired by the tastes and vision of notable producers, their quest was to work with the best possible fruit using natural methods to fashion ciders and perries with true flavours. Ciders with the character and structure to match with food. Ciders to enjoy, to share and to celebrate with. In 2022, they were lucky enough to be joined by Laurence Cocking, super-qualified winemaker (formerly with premium Kent winery, Gusbourne) who has fallen in love with the apple, and the creations – and creativity that is possible.

Tickets are £35 and include six ciders, six cheeses, bread, and a relaxed, informal atmosphere to kick back and relax.
