Why choose a gastronomic holiday with Cornish Secrets?
Cornwall’s gentle climate and coastal breezes create the perfect conditions for growing grapes – hence the rise of its acclaimed vineyards. Sip crisp whites and sparkling rosés at renowned spots like Camel Valley, Trevibban Mill, or Knightor Winery, and soak up the scenic surroundings on a vineyard tour. Feeling peckish? Cornwall’s foodie credentials go beyond wine, with harbour towns and villages serving up everything from freshly netted seafood to crumbly artisan cheeses. Tuck into a classic Cornish pasty, savour a cream tea (jam first, of course!), or sample Michelin-starred fare in Padstow or Port Isaac.
Our cottages give you easy access to these epicurean delights. Whether you fancy cooking local produce in your own cosy kitchen, sampling the latest pop-up street food, or exploring farm shops for seasonal treats, there’s no shortage of ways to taste the real Cornwall. For an extra-special break, why not treat yourself to a private chef or book a place on a cookery course? However you choose to dine, these foodie escapes are all about enjoying life’s simple (and scrumptious) pleasures.
