We won a 2011 Victorian Tourism Award!

RedBeard Historic Bakery has just won a 2011 RACV Victorian Tourism Award: the Minister's Encouragement Award.

Along with 1700 other people, RedBeard co-owner Al Reid attended the Gala awards dinner in Melbourne last night.  He proudly accepted the award on behalf of the RedBeard team from the Minister for Tourism and Major Events, the Hon. Louise Asher MP.

Congratulating RedBeard, Tourism Victoria Chief Executive Mark Stone said the awards are instrumental in encouraging a dynamic and competitive tourism industry.

“These awards recognise the best tourist experiences across our state and highlight the quality and diversity of tourism experiences we have on our doorstep in Victoria,” Mr Stone said.

More than 130 tourism operators competed in 26 business categories.
