Buying Wine

 

WHERE TO BUY LOCALLY

If you have room to bring your own down in the car – great. But often you may end up buying what you can find, while rushing to get back to the beach. So here are some tips on buying the best around Trevose….

There are two wine shops in Padstow;  BinTwo located just back from the harbour and 17 Duke Street – home of Padstow Distilling, makers of award winning Padstow Gin, Vodka and Rum.

They will help you buy the right wine for your holiday – let you taste some – as well as selling fine coffee to drink in the shop. Both have bars with cosy seating areas to taste a few wines as you choose your selection. What could be better?

Rick Stein also sells wine at his deli at South Quay in Padstow as well as the patisserie and gift shop on Middle Street. The wine is good, but choice is reasonably limited. Rick Stein is involved in production of some of the wine himself, and you will find much here that you may drink in his restaurants. Nice for buying a little nibble at the same time….

Inland from Padstow, of course, you can buy from a local producer – Camel Valley Vineyard or Trevibban Mill. Both great fun for an afternoon trip – walk the vines, do some tastings and a tour, and buy some wine for the week!

Or it’s likely you will be visiting Tesco’s at some point – the wine selection at Padstow is reasonably extensive and bigger again at Wadebridge.
