Richard Juhlin, a leading authority on champagne, once termed Balestrand’s apples the best in the world. Discover for yourself with this cider-tasting tour, learning about the Norwegian tradition with a visit to a family-run organic orchard. Not only will you enjoy a tasting flight of five samples, but you’ll be taught about everything from the fruit growing to the production of sparkling varieties. As the first place where bitter apples were grown, you’ll also be impressed with the sheer variety on offer, including traditional Norwegian acidic ciders and West-Country style tannic ciders.
