On friday we had the pleasure of being invited to one of the Durham food tours by
@tripleafoodtours and what an amazing experience it was.
Each tour they do is curated and built around local businesses which is fantastic.
Our tour guide for the day was the lovely Sharon, warm and friendly, we met at market square and were given some history about the city which was great to learn some things we didn't know about Durham.
Our first stop was to
@durhammarkets where we visited
@market_hall_wines , we all got some samples of different kinds of mead paired with some dark chocolates which worked fantastic together, they have such an extensive collection of wines from around the world, craft beers, artisan gin and small batch whiskies.
We also had a shot of whisky at 54%ABV, which definitely warmed us up for the day 🤣🤣
Next stop was to
@gusstodurham for a glass of wine and a charcuterie board each, such a stunning building, a hidden gem located on silver street, the cured meats and cheese were perfectly paired.
We then visited
@cellardoorkitchen where we got to sample some wonderful starter dishes, ranging from oysters, olives and bread to a sumak chicken dish and grilled hispi cabbage, the red wine we got was fantastic, all dishes bursting with flavour.
The next stop was
@rabbitholedurham just a small stroll along from the Elvet bridge, this place is stunning inside, they offer Cantonese style food, we had an absolute feast of roasted peking duck with pancakes, dim sum tower, roasted belly pork and spring rolls, all which were delicious.
Our final stop of the tour was
@fiik_durham for dessert which we got 2 desserts with wine pairing, both desserts presented very well, the dark chocolate with coconut sorbet was gorgeous, the 'free the berry' dessert equally as good, the strawberry sorbet very refreshing.
We had a fantastic day, with some great company, we throughly enjoyed the day from start to finish, these tours are incredible value for money for what you get,a drink in each location with superb food and learning some history about Durham along the way.
Highly recommend
@tripleafoodtours thank you again for a wonderful day.
