Black and Gold Organic Distillery

Cornwall's craft spirits scene gets properly good representation at this organic distillery just outside Truro. Black and Gold specialises in small-batch spirits made from certified organic ingredients, and the operation feels refreshingly authentic compared to some of the tourist-trap distilleries you'll find elsewhere in the county. The team here are clearly passionate about their craft - you can taste the difference in their gins and vodkas.

Spirits enthusiasts will get the most from a visit, though anyone curious about the distilling process should find it worthwhile. The setup isn't huge, which keeps things intimate and allows for proper conversations with the makers. Opening hours run Monday to Friday, 9am to 5.30pm, so weekend warriors will need to plan accordingly.

Location-wise, it works well with a Cornwall holiday if you're staying anywhere around the central part of the county. Several holiday parks sit within easy reach - Carnon Downs Caravan and Motorhome Club Campsite is just over three miles away, while Trevarth Holiday Park offers another base about five miles out. Worth combining with a trip into Truro itself for a proper day out exploring this part of Cornwall.
