Iβm in Guernsey π¬π¬! This is my first visit to another Channel Island despite having lived in Jersey for over 4 years. Today we went on a tour of Roquette Cider Farm, which was part of the Channel Islands Heritage Festival. The tour was run by Craig, who was both informative and funny. When I booked the tour via email he joked that it was three days after his birthday and he hoped heβd be sober again so when we arrived I expected a relatively young man but he was about 80 and going strong. This is a new pressoir (an apple press used to crush apples to make juice and cider). I love the feature that has been made using an olive tree planted in the middle and local granite stones for decoration. The tour ended with a cider tasting (of course!). Unfortunately we came over on the place with hand luggage only so no chance of bringing any cider back to Jersey. Roquette Cider is available in Jersey but not all the varieties. I really like the still varieties that were less sweet than the carbonated cider. Iβll post some more photos of this place, the setting was just beautiful. . . . . . #offtherock #guernsey #roquettecider #cider #ciderfarm #channelislandsheritagefestival #channelislands #pressoir #thisanxiousadventurer #easterweekend #goodfriday #gardenideas #olivetree #sunnyspring #blueskiesmakemehappy (at Bailiwick of Guernsey) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwc6hzQjx6z/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qy7xserm8ulp
