Gastronomic Gallops and Llama Lounges: Somerset’s Deliciously Quirky Day Out

Ottaba Llamas: Where Coffee Meets the Countryside

In Somerset, our animals double as tour guides and dining companions. At Ottaba Llamas, begin your adventure with a “Llamas and Lattes” walk, where the coffee is as rich as the experience. Meander through the charming town of Esk with a friendly llama by your side, then stop at a local café to indulge in artisan coffee and fresh, local snacks. It's not every day you can share a coffee table with such a curious creature!

For those who prefer grapes to grains, the Ocean View Estates Winery Walk combines the elegance of fine wine with the earthiness of a llama companion. Here at Ocean View Estates, not only will you taste some of the region's finest wines, but you'll do so amid the picturesque rows of vines that sprawl across the estate. Savor a curated selection of wines paired with a sumptuous cheese and charcuterie board as you overlook the lush vineyard vistas—a perfect pairing of culinary craft and natural beauty.

Nash Horse Trekking: Saddle Up for Culinary Delight

Trade your llama for a horse and saddle up for a unique journey to The Bellevue Hotel with Nash Horse Trekking. The famous Pub Ride offers a blend of scenic beauty and gourmet pleasure, making it a top pick for those who love a bit of adventure with their meals.

Arrive in style on horseback at The Bellevue Hotel, where a hearty, delicious country meal awaits. Known for its warm hospitality and excellent cuisine, the hotel offers a menu packed with local flavours—think succulent steaks, fresh seafood, and seasonal specials that reflect the region’s produce. After a satisfying meal, enjoy the relaxed ride back, letting the rural landscapes and full belly soothe your spirit.

For an evening twist, the Moonlight Pub Ride leads you under the stars to the same beloved Bellevue, but this time the ambiance turns magical with the night sky as your canopy. Post-dinner, ride back illuminated by moonlight and perhaps linger by the campfire for a nightcap—it’s the perfect end to a perfect evening.

From the gourmet delights at Ocean View Estates to the hearty meals at The Bellevue Hotel, every stop is an opportunity to savour the rich flavours of Somerset. And for those walking with llamas or riding horses, these moments of culinary bliss provide a delightful contrast to the day’s rustic activities.

Pack your adventurous spirit and your appetite, and come ready to sip, savour, and stroll (or trot) through Somerset’s most charming and delicious experiences. Whether you walk, ride, or relax, this is one flavourful journey you won’t want to miss. So, foodies and fun-lovers, unite! Somerset’s quirky culinary adventure awaits.
