Camel Valley Vineyard wins gold medal tourism award

Camel Valley Vineyard has won a Gold Medal in the Cornwall Tourism Awards held at the Headland Hotel, Newquay, on 16 October 2008. The awards were presented by TV personality Ruby Wax; Camel Valley received the Gold award for ‘Small Visitor Attraction of the Year’.

Said Bob Lindo: “We decided very early on that we would concentrate solely on wine quality and wine tours. All our tours are conducted by either a family member or a trained wine maker and we decided that we would forego the likes of a gift shop, or restaurant. We are delighted that this strategy has been recognised”.

Camel Valley is famous for the ‘Wednesday Evening Grand Tour and Wine Tasting’, conducted by either Bob himself, or his son, winemaker Sam. Many visitors return year after year for these informative tours that give a personal approach, along with a strong emphasis on fun.

Camel Valley has previously won 3 Tourism Gold Medals and Bob Lindo was presented with a Gold Medal for outstanding services to tourism in 2006.
