Win A Cornish Weekend Getaway For Two
Explore the captivating coastlines and countryside of Cornwall, dine in two AA-rosette awarded restaurants and stay in two unique four-star hotels with our Cornish foodie getaway. We’ll be treating one lucky winner to a night’s stay at The Greenbank perched on the picturesque harbour in Falmouth, followed by a night at The Alverton cocooned on the outskirts of the Cornish capital in Truro, including dinner and hearty breakfast.
Soak up the ocean air in the seaside setting of Falmouth and sample a blissful blend of Cornish flavours with Head Chef, Bobby Southworth’s award-winning menu. After cuisine by the coast, take a trip to Truro and ramble the cobbled streets of Cornwall’s capital city, before discovering the hidden gem upon the hill at The Alverton’s nineteenth century, grade II listed hotel.
Overlooking the verdant grounds, the acclaimed restaurant headed up by Simon George is an idyllic spot to tuck into hearty Celtic-inspired culinary creations. Enter now!

Polgoon is a vineyard and orchard on the outskirts of Penzance, Cornwall. Producing a range of award-winning wines, ciders and juices, Polgoon also offers a cellar door and a range of vineyard tours.

Polgoon are giving away two tickets for their Meet the Maker tour at Polgoon (worth £110) plus a gift voucher to purchase your favourite wines at the end of the day.
The Meet the Maker tour consists of a day at Polgoon spending time with the owners, Kim and John, learning about the origins of the vineyard and how they make their award-winning wines. Guests arrive at 11:30, at which point vineyard owner Kim will talk you through the story of Polgoon over coffee and croissants. You will then head to the wine tanks with John, the owner and winemaker. Whilst you are with John, you will be able to taste the new 2018 vintage straight from the tanks, before heading to the Vinehouse Kitchen for a lunch in the Vine House Kitchen.
At 2pm you will join a tour of the vineyard to learn about the varieties at Polgoon and how the team grow their grapes, before heading to the winery to learn about the process of making wine. Your day will then conclude by tasting five delicious wines.
