Cowbridge Food and Drink Festival 09

This Saturday and Sunday, 24th-25th October will see the annual Cowbridge Food & Drink Festival, held in the historic market town, just outside of Cardiff. Easily accessible by public transport from the Capitol, the Cowbridge Food & Drink Festival is one of the last local food shows of the year.

Full list of exhibitors are available here, but the boozy highlights are below:

Celtic Spirit Co Ltd
Cwm Deri Vineyard
Gwatkin Cider, well Denis and Co would have to be there, it's not a proper food festival without a few pints of Gwatkin cider!

Gwynt-Y-Ddraig Cider Ltd , another festival favourite with maybe a new product available?
The Handmade Scotch Egg Co Ltd, okay not a booze producer but something is needed to help the cider go down!
Mosmar Liqueurs & Spirits
Otley Brewery
Penlon Cottage Brewery, will be stocking up on their Chocolate Stout, made with real chocolate!
Tipsy Fruit Gins Ltd
Warcop Ales - Bill picton also had his excellent cider on sale last year at the festival.
Welsh Brew Tea - okay it's not alcoholic but Alan is a CAMRA member!
Wernddu Wine & Vineyard - interesting wines, ciders and perries all made in Wales.
