Food and wine celebrity Lyndey Milan has been recognised with Legend status.
In another milestone in an already stellar career, Milan was named the NSW Legend of the Vine in front of many of her wine industry associates and colleagues at the WCA Sydney Royal Wine Show Trophy Winners Lunch.
True to form, Milan was overjoyed and somewhat moved by this recognition of her long-time service in the food
and wine industry and as one of Australia’s most loved characters in both sectors.
National WCA Chair Toni Carlino said: “It gives us great pleasure to present this honour to Lyndey, whose name is synonymous with food and wine in Australia. Lyndey’s passion, dedication and commitment, over many years has helped these communities flourish into what they are today.”
Milan is an Australian gastronomic icon and one of the most recognised food, wine and lifestyle personalities of our time. A multi-award-winning presenter, communicator, author and teacher with a career spanning over 30 years across television, radio and print.
The Legend of the Vine Award is in addition to an already extensive list of remarkable achievements including an OAM in 2014.
Milan is an active online contributor and publishes on her own website.
She is the seventh person to be awarded Legend of the Vine status in NSW, and joins a prestigious national list
that includes Huon Hooke, Clive Hartley, Iain Riggs, Rob Hirst and David Lowe.Click here to see all the results from the 2019 KPMG Sydney Royal Wine Show, including Yabby Lake Vineyard winning the Drinks Association Best Shiraz Trophy.
