Blenheim Palace Food Festival

Sheep farmers Tim and Tanya have a go at selling their vodka at Blenheim Palace Food Festival. Wye Valley brothers Matt and Kit also create a buzz with their mead.

Sheep farming couple Tim and Tanya have breathed new life into their Cotswold farm, ensuring that Tim’s young son has the chance to take on a viable business in the future. Their most ambitious venture was three years in the making: they have recently launched the UK’s first sheep’s milk vodka. However, at £60 per bottle, the challenge will be to sell it. Tim and Tanya have high hopes that they can reel in potential buyers for their artisan spirit at Blenheim Palace Food Festival, even before lunchtime!

Meanwhile, Wye Valley-based brothers Matt and Kit are working round the clock collecting honey from 150 beehives and making it into sparkling mead. As a young family business, they rely on their own teamwork to make the dream work. They hope bottles will fly off their stall once people sample their modern take on this ancient drink. On top of that, creating a buzz at this prestigious event could bring them closer to landing a lucrative deal.
