Taste Local Opportunity for Food and Tourism Businesses

Taste Local has launched a ‘Learning Journey Bursary’ which is open to all food, drink, and hospitality and tourism businesses within the rural wards of South West Wales. There are forty bursaries at an 80% funding rate with a maximum of £800 per business available. Businesses are being urged to get in touch if they would like to apply for a bursary to join others in the sector on a visit to Puglia in Italy as groups on 23rd September for 4-5 days.

Several local businesses have already been successful in their applications to undertake Taste Local Learning Journeys to Italy as a means of developing and growing their own businesses including Teifi Cheese, Nomnom, Con Passionata and Lwynhelyg Farm Shop.

The different groups will be visiting cheese producers, confectionary businesses, cookery schools and restaurants, vine yards and food trails/ farm shops/preserves in the region.

Taste Local Co-ordinator, Lowri Edwards said, ‘We only have a few bursaries still available so it is really important that anyone interested gets in touch as soon as possible. Businesses can apply for individual bursaries too if they do not want to go as part of a group.’
