Explore the best of Norfolk – and meet TVcook Delia Smith
ITS vast, atmospheric beaches, historic market towns and beautiful Broads make Norfolk an ideal place to relax – and on our exclusive tour you’ll get to experience the very best of Nelson’s county and enjoy a special culinary experience in the company of TV cookery star Delia Smith.
On this four-day break you’ll be hosted by Delia for a full day at her Food and Wine Workshop. You’ll also be joined by chef Alex Mackay and wine expert Jason Banner, as well as a cocktail expert.
Your memorable food and drink experiences will include a threecourse lunch with wine-tasting, a cooking demonstration with Alex, a cocktail masterclass and a special question-and-answer session with Delia and the team.
You’ll also dine at Delia’s Restaurant and Bar in Norwich – and this is just the start of your Norfolk adventure. There will be plenty of time to explore the area from your four-star Norwich hotel.
The lovely Broads are within easy reach, and there are ample shopping and dining opportunities close by. The Jacobean Blickling Hall stately home, north of Aylsham, and the charming coastal towns and villages of North Norfolk are slightly further afield.
