Tea Plucking and Vegetable Cultivation
Tea Plucking and Vegetable Cultivation
Located in the middle of the lush greenery of Nuwara Eliya, the Winchester Resort guarantees not only a comfortable stay but also the enchanting experience of the local colors and customs. One of such experiences is the farm-to-table experience, where the guests are allowed to engage in tea picking and vegetable farming to get a feel for Sri Lanka as a rising nation in the agro-business sector.
Finally, with the mist lifting and the morning sun bleaching the hillside, the guests of the Winchester Resort are welcome to inaugurate the morning with a stroll through the tea gardens. Accompanied by professional tea pluckers, tourists get to learn how to pick the young tea leaves out of the plantation that will be used to produce the Ceylon tea that is famous throughout the world.
Embedded within the farm-to-table meal at the Winchester Resort in Nuwara Eliya is not only consuming food, but it’s also an exploration, relationship building, and revelation. The tourism activities and practices, such as tea plucking and vegetable farming, make the guests feel closer to the ground and enable them to understand the culture of Sri Lanka with regard to farming and agriculture.
As the concept of food sovereignty diminishes and food miles increase, this experience is a visceral realization of what can be achieved with local agriculture. Therefore, the next time you visit the misty Nuwara Eliya, do not take advantage of the opportunity to consume farm-to-table foods at the Winchester Resort.
Join us for a farm-to-table adventure!
