Honey is a remarkable food and ingredient. The taste, viscosity, colour and aromas are linked directly to the floral sources available to the bees. In this gourmet food tour you will join a local food and wine enthusiast, beekeeper and bon vivant on a honey tasting, overview of the lifecycle of a colony and then suit up and visit a beehive! The honey tasting provides a unique insight into the different tastes and textures created by Hamish’s bees and a diverse range of floral sources. Hamish harvests his honey using the Flow Hive system which allows you to take small amounts of honey at a time without disturbing the bees. We get to taste honeys collected weeks and sometimes days apart and compare them. All of this alongside leaf tea or plunger coffee, freshly baked scones and award winning jam. By building our knowledge of these important pollinators we are helping build a sustainable future for the bees and for all of us. You will need fully enclosed shoes to be able to do this. During winter (April - September) we don't open the hives but get up close to observe the bees coming and going and view them through specially designed glass hive windows. Although the group size is limited it is possible to host a larger group; I simply bring along another beekeeper and they will open another hive. Likewise you can request a date. @bowralbeekeeping

You'll be greeted with tea, coffee and home brewed refreshing drinks as you get acquainted with me. I'll provide you with detailed instructions on how to prepare the dough & wrapper for the dumplings. More importantly, we will wrap up the dumplings together - it's quite a skill but with practice, everyone could master it. Depending on the diet requirement, we can have one meat stuffing (pork, beef or chicken) and/or vegetarian style stuffing. The finished dumplings will be either steamed or pan-friend depending on your preference.
