Get ready for an experience where food, foraging and fulfilment go hand in hand. Living Wild celebrates our connection with the living world through nature-based activities. This scenic wild foraging walk followed by seasonal lunch ticks all the boxes.
Your experienced and enthusiastic host Leah will bring you up to speed on the basic principles of foraging. Sharing her knowledge as a bush craft practitioner, Leah will show you how to safely identify and gather wild food before you embark on your adventurous journey.
You will wander through Combe Hay Vineyard’s peaceful and private woodland. And as you do so, discover the importance of sourcing seasonal and sustainable produce. Take in all this new knowledge while absorbing your picturesque surroundings.
Your walk will then take you to the local countryside where you are introduced to different edible and poisonous plants, flowers, fruits and mushrooms. Leah will open your eyes to a world of flavours, tastes and foraging, you never imagined were possible.
After more foraging fun, you will head back to the vineyard to sip on a delicious wild cocktail before you are greeted by our passionate Chef, who knows a thing or two about creating sustainable and seasonal delights. Expect to be welcomed by mouth-watering treats: a grazing board full of freshly made bread, dips and pickles. This will be followed by a light lunch and seasonal salad made from all kinds of glorious veg and foraged ingredients. You’ll be able to taste the satisfaction from your outdoor pursuits.
Parts of the meal will be cooked over the open fire to harness the ingredients' rich earthy flavours. To top it all off, you will finish with a deliciously sweet and naughty surprise. If you’re curious what, there’s only one way to find out…
In this wholesome experience stimulate your senses with foraged food and build your gratitude for the produce.

Location was less scenic than I imagined, but both lea and beth were excellent. Really interesting walk and expert talk on plant and fungi identification and uses, and wonderful food.
Second Forage to Fork experience of the year for us, learnt lots again including new seasonal advice and tips. Leah is so knowledgeable and Beth’s food was delicious. Thank you both!
Fantastic experience. Leah was a great host/guide. Her knowledge was exceptional but presented in a straightforward and practical way that I will be able to use. The lunch was gorgeous! Big thanks to Beth for the amazing, tasty three course meal and again to Leah for the fab cocktail. I would definitely recommend 😊
Definitely recommend! We spotted and identified so many plants during the walk and seeing a few of them on our plates at lunch was fantastic (and delicious!). Learning about the benefits of the different plants, leaves and flowers and how to use them in the kitchen was exactly what I had hoped for. Such a fun group, great day all around.
Had a lovely time. The foraging was eye opening and the food delicious.
Me and my partner had an amazing time on this experience. Leah was a brilliant guide, who taught us about over 20 plants and fungi that could be found at this time of year. We feel really well equipped to go out and find them ourselves, and have some creative ways of using them. The delicious meal, cooked by Elise, rounded it all off beautifully - with views across the vineyard and nature all around!
Absolutely loved this! Food was incredible and foraging experience was really interesting
Amazing time!! Loads of fun and learnt loads!!
Food was outstanding!!
We had an absolutely brilliant time on Forage to Fork. Leah is so knowledgeable and welcoming. Then to top it off the food by Elise was absolutely delicious! Already looking at coming back later in the year.
We really enjoyed our day, Leah was incredibly knowledgeable and we felt like we learnt a lot about foraging. Beth's menu was really inventive and delicious (she is an amazing chef!) It was such a lovely location as well, would highly recommend to others :)
An amazing experience with a very knowledgeable host. Thank you!
