The main focus of this trip in the autumn of 2016 will be on apple cider and perry production. The goal of this journey is to visit places which have both long tradition of apple and pear production and make variety of high quality products. There are several steps in planning which has to be done first, some of them well in advance for this trip to be fruitful. Establishing relationships with people and organisations which we meet and visit for the future collaboration is very important.

Locations

(most likely to visit fist on the list)

We will use the car as a form of transport, therefore staying rather on the continental part of Europe would be cheaper compared to crossing to Ireland and England, however those are truly major cider and perry regions. We will for sure visit either of or rather both Brittany and Normandy in France because of easy access, personal contacts and also because of the relatively easy way of buying cider apples (if the season is at least reasonably good) and transporting them back to Kout na Šumavě. Asturias in the Northern Spain are also directly reachable by car, however it is around 1300 km extra of drive which should be considered both from the point of view of costs and time. As mentioned above England and Ireland may be harder to access however the importance which especially England was and is playing in the history of cider makes it nearly mandatory to visit.
