Good Morning!

It’s the hottest day of the year so far…we’re going to need more ice! It really is a good Friday today!

Happy #StarWarsDay

Emily in clover and buttercups (and blackcurrants!)

We’re celebrating the Platinum Jubilee with the nation today. The best of British today with our British Cassis and English Sparkling Wine make perfect partners for the celebration

This is the Queen of Cocktails for Platinum Jubilee weekend; 35ml British Framboise 35ml Dark rum Soda or Tonic water Shake well and pour over plenty of crushed ice. Top with Soda Water or Tonic and garnish with fresh raspberries and mint. A light and fresh summer drink.

Our final Platinum Jubilee cocktail (or possibly Dessert) of the weekend; JUBILEE SUMMER BERRIES Handful of British Strawberries Whipped Cream 50ml British Framboise Top British strawberries (and any other seasonal fruit) with whipped cream, add a splash of British Framboise

The crop is some way away from harvest but things are looking promising

Emily inspecting this year's crop. The bike isn't hers 😉

Charity open garden in aid of St Michael's Hospice, Hereford Hereford earlier this week.

How is your day going? Our blackcurrant harvest continues. Osyp and Illyia, pictured here, are both from Ukraine

Gio and Willa toasting the end of harvest with a Kir Royale made with our British Cassis. Hopefully the rain will be here this week to help out our Herefordshire farmers.

It’s nearly the weekend!! Here’s one to try before we head into Autumn… SUMMER PUNCH British Framboise Gin Soda or Lemonade A perfect weekend treat for the bank holiday weekend. Plenty of ice, add our Famboise, topped with a splash of gin then either soda water or lemonade.

BLACKCURRANT AND RUM CRUSH 50ml Rum 50ml British Cassis 30ml Sugar syrup 30ml Lime juice 30ml Water A few mint leaves Guaranteed to bring chilled vibes and good times to the summer! Mix all the ingredients together, give them a good shake, freeze overnight and serve

I was honoured to meet Her Majesty The Queen in 2012 when she visited Herefordshire for the Diamond Jubilee celebrations. I recall a warm and inspiring woman and she will be sorely missed.

Abergavenny food festival today. Alice, Rhys and Amy offering tastings of our British Cassis and Framboise. Come and say hello!

Beautiful day on the farm today!

Here's Jo, creating some magic at a photoshoot for Autumn cocktails which we look forward to sharing with you soon.

A perfect match for a perfect Kir Royale. Grapes are to Fitzwine as Fitzwine is to British Cassis. Bushes to bottle!
