Welsh Wine from the Gwinllan Conwy Vineyard -
Interview with Colin Bennett
Visiting a vineyard is probably not something most
people would think of when planning a trip to the beautiful
country of Wales, but that is gradually changing as a number of
small wine producers begin to make a name for themselves, both at
home and overseas.
In the county of Conwy in north
Wales, the Gwinllan Conwy Vineyard has seen its business grow
rapidly since it opened in 2016. Today, the vineyard, located in the
hamlet of Llangwstenin, has the
capability of producing up to around 10,000 bottles per year and
this could well increase to 20,000 in the near future.
The wine they produce is sold online and locally,
and they already export some of it to Japan, with the owners
eyeing other markets in the Asia Pacific region as well as closer
to home.
In this exclusive interview, Steven Howard
of TravelNewsAsia.com asks Colin Bennett, co-owner of the Gwinllan
Conwy Vineyard with his wife, to tell us more about the business.
Filmed in the vineyard on 8 February 2020,
Colin explains how the company has grown, what types of grapes they
grow and wine they produce, how the wine compares to that of more
established wine producing countries, and what goals they have for the
future.
We discuss the tours, how the vineyard uses
technology, what expansion plans they have, and what they do when
it is time to pick the grapes. All that and much, much more
in the FHD video and podcast below.
