Join in for a unique peek "behind the scenes", enjoy a tasting of delicous local cider and sample some scrumptious goods from the farmyard shops. In this tour we have included two nights at Brakanes Hotel in Ulvik accompanied by a cider tasting and a guided tour at two of the farms.

Price includes:

• 2 nights at Brakanes Hotel incl. breakfast
• 2 three course dinners
• Cider tasting at two cider farms in Ulvik

Day 1: Arrival in Ulvik and check-in at Brakanes Hotel

One of the highlights of Brakanes Hotel is its restaurant, which serves delicious Norwegian cuisine made from local ingredients.The restaurant has a lovely terrace overlooking the fjord, where guests can dine alfresco.

Day 2: Experience the Fruit and Cider route

Start the day with a delicious breakfast in the hotel's restaurant and walk along the fjord to the start of Apalvegen. There is a 30 minutes walk from the hotel to the farms.

In this tour we have included two cider tastings with guided tours at 12:30 and 15:00. The first tasting will be held at Ulvik Frukt & Cideri. For the second tasting you can choose between Syse Gard and Hardanger Saft & Siderfabrikk. Between the tastings you can also visit the farm shops, which are open Monday through Saturday from 10:00-17:00.

The Fruit and Cider Route is a collaboration between Hardanger Saft- og Siderfabrikk, Syse Farm, and Ulvik Frukt & Cideri. Yearly, the group hosts festivals in May (Siderslepp; celebrating their ciders) and October (Fruktslepp; celebrating the fruit harvest). All farms have outlets selling cider and other farm produce, such as fresh fruit, meat and apple juice, so we do recommend visiting all three.

After learning more about the different farms and enjoying some refreshing cider, you walk through beautiful orchards back to the hotel where a 3 course dinner with local products awaits.

Day 3 - Check out and new adventures

After a good night’s sleep, round off your short break with a hearty breakfast.
