I went with my 16 year old son. We both really enjoyed the farm in its wonderful country setting. The lady who greeted us was lovely and spoke very good English. She was very knowledgeable and told us about the animals, processes of the cheese making and the marketing of it. We saw the staff preparing it and my son had a go too. We were then provided with a lovely lunch with a bottle of wine that we did not expect! She then called a taxi for us too! Overall, a wonderful day. Highly recommended
