Did you all know that the UK is now producing world class wines, fabulously delicate and yet, complex wines.
Who would have imagined! Well, we have decided to visit a divine winery called Camel Valley, run by the charming Lindo family.
The weather was simply splendid, our guide Bob Lindo was exceptional, his very thorough yet simplistic manner made the tour a delight!
His story is quite enthralling, when ex-RAF pilot Bob Lindo and his wife Annie planted their first eight
thousand vines in 1989, they never dreamed of the phenomenal success
they would achieve within 2 decades. They had bought their farm in the
heart of the Cornish countryside several years earlier, seeking a
change from service life and the perfect place to bring up their young
family, and initially farmed sheep and cattle. Each summer they watched
the grass turn brown on the sun-drenched slopes of the Camel Valley,
and wondered if vines might enjoy such an aspect.
And, now we are thrilled to have spectacular, sparkling, Cornish wine.
