Dining
Eating well in hill country.
Food culture in the hills runs on produce grown nearby and meals that are in no rush to end.
Long lunches
Meals treated as an occasion to linger over, especially on weekends.
Vineyard dining
Meals set among rows of vines, common in several of the wine-growing hill regions.
Farm produce
Fruit, vegetables and dairy grown close enough to reach the table within days.
Country pubs
A fixture of hill towns, and often the social centre of the place.
Scenic cafes
Small cafes that make the most of a hillside or valley outlook.
Local markets
Weekend markets where growers, makers and neighbours cross paths.
