Cheryl Cade is a Norfolk-based food and drink specialist who leads immersive tasting and walking tours in Norwich. As an international food judge and trained sommelier, she designs experiences that combine tasting, local history and expert insight. Her public and private offerings include guided walking tours—Sausage Roll Tour, Cheese Tour, Gin Tour, Beer & Cheese Tour, Beer, Sausage Roll & Pastry Tour, Cathedral to Cathedral, Winter Spirits—and bespoke events that can be hosted at venues, in private homes or online.
Each tour pairs curated tastings with storytelling: sausage roll and pastry sampling on market-focused routes; cheese tastings guided by a qualified Cheese Sommelier; gin tastings that highlight Norfolk distillers; and beer and cheese pairings that teach basic judging techniques. Tours vary in length from short two-hour walks to longer four-hour paired experiences and include stops at multiple local venues.
Cheryl Cade works with independent producers, local cafés and craft distilleries to showcase regional products and traditional recipes. Her background as a Food & Drink Judge and Sommelier informs tasting notes, pairing suggestions and recommendations for further exploration.
