Hobbiton Evening Banquet Tour || How You Can Feast Like a Hobbit Too!

[@gsamalot]

Hobbiton is the one of the few places that feel like you just walk into a whole different world. There just something about the simple fantastical world of it that really draw you in with how peaceful it looks.

[@cindig3296]

After looking at almost 10 videos, yours finally gave me a tour of the Shire, not only during the day, but at night too! You also included the Green Dragon-inside and out-which others surprisingly didn't do. Thank you for taking me on the full tour! I loved it!

[@tracynickels164]

I want a house like Bilbo Baggins!

[@lewisembark9733]

Same, Tracy! Wish this was a hotel :)

[@briancahill2387]

I would love to be there...Love New Zealand in General. I would love to see them expand it and make all the hobit homes liveable and look just like the movie interiors. Perhaps create a Hobbiton Hotel on another hill. And have hobbits doing the tours in costume!

[@orchardhouse9241]

Oh, that I had the money to go to New Zealand!

[@conor3087]

Adding the music , gave even more elevation to the Vlog. I hope, I will go there someday.

[@lewisembark9733]

Thank you so much! Yes, hope you make it, too! It's amazing!

[@nickspirakus8008]

As someone who only recently watched the Lord of the Rings movies, I can't wait to go back to NZ and visit here. Definitely doing the feast!

[@lewisembark9733]

The feast is a MUST!

[@benjalucian1515]

Bucket list for sure. So many people say "Hobbiton feels like home". I feel the same way.

[@nitaipadakamala2459]

This is a place I really want to visit 😍.

[@lewisembark9733]

It's so incredible - I hope you can make it!

[@imsohygh]

Visiting the Shire was already on my bucket list....this just added to it! WOW! That is something i would love to experience probably more than anything.

[@cepecob]

New Zealand here I come

[@taraelizabethdensley9475]

A place i'd love to visit some day

[@dksand0135]

That's were I'm going when the apocalypse starts..!!!

[@lewisembark9733]

Haha not a bad plan! :)

[@hobbitonpiper]

This experience is #1 on my bucket list! Thank you so much for allowing us to come along through this video.

[@mattrowe7728]

I swear some entrepreneur needs to build something similar in the United States. Would be booked solid year round. Also maybe have 5 or 6 hobbit holes that can be rented overnight!

[@imsohygh]

actually, there are quite a few hobbit holes throughout the US...There is actually 3 down the road where i live in Santa Fe TN, it IS an Air BnB, costs $500 a night (for all 3) and yes, it is pretty much booked up all year round.

[@itsmey5467]

Just a dream for me to visit there ...

[@lewisembark9733]

Hope you can make it some day! It's incredible!

[@stevejensen3471]

Great video and banquet! Such a beautiful place!!! I contacted the Good George Brewery who brews the Green Dragon ales to see if I could have some sent up here to Aberdeen, WA. And they said nope - they only brew it for Hobbiton darn it. But it's an amber ale so Full Sail Amber is a close second!

[@lewisembark9733]

Aw man, major bummer! But yet another reason to visit ;)

[@alfredomalabello]

Love it. I’m going dressed in full costume and I’m not going to use cutlery at the feast. Hopefully I’ll incite a food fight after my table dance.

[@lewisembark9733]

Haha I LOVE that! Please film this adventure and let us know how it goes ;)

[@TheHardSteppa]

This is an excellent review. I always fear that these tours get watered down when commercialised but this looks pretty decent. Aight!

[@lindagarcia6963]

Very interesting trip! You guys take the best vacations!♥️

[@lewisembark9733]

It was such a neat experience! Thank you, Linda!

[@rschris]

Will definitely be adding this to the bucket list !!

[@creepycutiegoth4113]

Mine too! 😆

[@philipuriarte3579]

So, Hobbiton is in beautiful New Zealand 🇳🇿, well that it all the more exciting to want to go there and to pass out more ‘Bible tracts’, right on!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@frankortolano5886]

Yes I must do this tour

[@patwo9719]

Seems like a wonderful tour. You did a great job filming your trip.

[@rhysiieboii]

I did this last week. Incredible experience and the food is amazing.

[@sajjadsaberi556]

I wish to visit there someday.

[@GodsVibes]

O God I can't wait, thanks so much for sharing, it will cost a fortune to get their from Ireland - but we will make it. Be Blessed :-)

[@lewisembark9733]

It will be worth it I promise ;) Have so much fun!

[@356z]

For anyone looking, you probably need to book this or breakfast like a year in advance. Lunch seems more accessible

[@benjalucian1515]

Will take you a few years to save up for airfare to New Zealand.

[@356z]

@benjalucian1515 yes round trip was over 1k

[@benjalucian1515]

@@356z Yikes. And then you have hotel costs on top of that.

[@356z]

@benjalucian1515 yes, new zealand was probably our most expensive trip. Be ready lol

[@seponglasangtam1027]

The hobbit is my favourite movie 💓💓 I wish I could go there too .its so heavenly😭😭😭

It is so magical! I hope you can make it some day - you'd love it!

They now have Hobbit houses you can go inside and see.

[@georgetheodoridis8118]

I have been watching lord of the rings for more than 20 years and one my greatest dreams is to travel to Hobbiton with my wife even for a single night.I am from Greece so this becomes extremely expensive but one day i have promised my self that i will make it !!!

[@readingsbyrain4604]

Oh yes. This made it to my list! Do you know if they had any vegan food?

[@champikafernando8476]

I did it amazing 👍

[@denisklein8216]

Hello ! We are going to do the evening banquet tour next february, how long is the evening walk with lanterns ? I see this is guided tour aswell so I'd like to know if we have time to chill around hobbiton freely and take our time to do pictures and stuff 🙂

[@rainsongt189]

Thank you so much for sharing your adventure with us. I know I'll never make the trip so, I have a burning question--were mushrooms served at the banquet? Farmer Maggot's mushrooms? You see, I never cared for mushrooms prior to reading The Hobbit for the first time way back in @ 1964 but after that, they've become one of my favorite foods.

[@lewisembark9733]

Great question! No mushrooms by themselves but there was some beef stew smothered in a mushrooms and gravy.

[@lewisembark9733]

Farmer Maggot would be proud though... assuming the hobbits didn't steal them.

Excellent!!! However I would like to hear more about the ales at the green dragon. What type of barley brews, hopped ales, and wines? Any long bottom to be had?

[@TheHarry383]

2024 I’m coming to do this

[@player4ever560]

I am going to New Zealand in October/November, and that place is a must see for me! Did you visit any of the other LOTR filming sites?

[@ErinAngel-s8j]

I am the biggest "LotR" fan ever. I am even in the process of having a half-body suit of "LotR" tattooed on me. I am about 65% done. My sister went to Comic Con and spoke with Elijah Wood (Frodo) and Andy Serkis (Gollum), took a picture with them, and showed them my tattoo work. They said they loved it. I want to come visit New Zealand terribly bad. ⚔️🌳🎆🧙‍♂️💐🌻🌄🌞✨️🎉🎣🎊

[@EdenWaterGarden]

Your video is so so beautiful. I watched three time. I have some questions, can you help me. Do we have to book the banquet tour before or come and then buy the ticket is okay ? Also do you think 4 hours is enough to enjoy the hobbiton or should I buy the second breakfast + the banquet?. I am planning to go there in the end of this year. Can you give me some advice please.

[@lewisembark9733]

Glad you enjoyed the video! We haven't done the second breakfast tour but it sounds really fun. If you do either of those you absolutely need to reserve tickets as soon as you know the dates you're looking for. Those can sell out months in advance sometimes. When we booked our trip, our dates were actually sold out and we had to just keep checking back every day on the site to see if any cancellations popped up (which they eventually did) so that's also an option if it sells our before you book. From our experience we'd say the 4 hour banquet tour is just the right amount of time. The regular tour feels a bit rushed at 1.5-2ish hours but if worse comes to worse those tours should be readily available. Any way you go, it's gonna be worth it though. Hobbiton is such a cool place.

[@EdenWaterGarden]

@@lewisembark9733 Thank you so much for letting me know. Also 4 hours is total time for the banquet tour ( including dinner time )?

[@lewisembark9733]

@@EdenWaterGarden Of course. I hope you have a great time! And yup, 4 hours is about the total time including dinner.

[@EdenWaterGarden]

@@lewisembark9733 Thank you very much. Hope you will have more great adventures 😄 Have a good week.

[@ianblake1276]

What's the music you're using in this clip? It sounds familiar, goes well with this movie.

[@OneTwoMark]

Can you go inside Bilbos house, or did the door not go anywhere and his house just a set somewhere else?

[@lewisembark9733]

You can step just inside for the picture but there's nothing in there.

[@thomasjuniardi3559]

His ring from Amazon, that's the real one ring made by Sauron himself : Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul

Bilbo baggins house?

Yes! So neat to be there!

[@mattrowe7728]

Did they mention all of the produce was stolen from Farmer Maggot?

[@user-gm3kg9ie9d]

So the banquet tour takes you through the whole set in the day time and night time?

🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰

[@vashtheknight]

Like every weirdo fan of these movies if I had the funds I would visit this place in my best medieval attire.

[@lewisembark9733]

Haha you would love it, Josh! I don't think we saw anyone dressed up while we were there but I'm sure if happens frequently :)

[@vashtheknight]

Personally I'm surprised that New Zealand has not yet installed a hobbit themed b&b/ hotel near the giftshop

[@oussamaayache503]

👍🏻❤️😊✨️🎉

[@CaptainPoolverine]

My heart breaks everytime i realise, they are just fictional characters.

[@lewisembark9733]

Haha right?! This place definitely immerses you into the experience and makes it all feel so real!

[@moisessilvasilva5626]

Bilbo's ? Kkkkkkkkk

[@MWolfL]

(sniggers) I hate kale too. Definitely would love to go on this tour, but the travel costs.... I'd be best waiting for a fortune from Publishers Clearing House or something, then I could also afford to take mom with me (she's the one who introduced me to the franchise, so she deserves the trip more than I do).
