A popular festive afternoon tea at Kerry Vale Vineyard, near Montgomery is selling fast in the run up to Christmas.
 
Following last year’s success, the Shropshire/Powys border attraction is serving up the seasonal treat from Friday, November 18 until Wednesday, December 21 in the Vineyard Café.
 
Afternoon tea, which is adapted for vegetarian diets, comprises finely cut sandwiches with classic fillings together with freshly baked orange and cranberry scones, orange preserve and cream, followed by a selection of delicious festive themed sweet treats.
 
Tea is served with a pot of tea or coffee, mulled wine or the vineyard’s award-winning sparkling English wine for £30 per person and is available from 12pm to 2pm, Thursday  to Sunday. Prebooking and payment required 48 hours in advance.
 
Janet Cooke, vineyard owner and chef, said: “The vineyard café is becoming a popular afternoon tea venue and at Christmas we like to raise our game! We love being able to create festive adaptations of traditional favourites - this year’s offering even includes an edible robin and mini Christmas tree!
 
“Although we like to have fun with our presentation, the most important factor is that it tastes great. Something we work hard in the kitchen to ensure. Research and development for our festive afternoon tea starts in October and involves lots of taste testing of prototypes.”
