A very informative wine tour and tasting. We tried 6 wines and 2 vermouth along with an extensive talk and tour by Les who was fantastic. We purchased 2 bottles which we are looking forward to enjoying.

Wonderful! What a great site, with a friendly, knowledgeable owner who made us feel very welcome. We wandered through the vineyard for a time, very peacefully before being invited to sample the produce. Having tasted almost everything on offer it would've been rude not to then buy at least one of everything 😆 Subsequent quaffing at home and I can confirm that the whole bottle is as good as the taster session. English wines cost more because they're generally smaller batch. Quality, not quantity, is the name of the game and these wines are better than most you'll find in a supermarket or online retailer. Try it, you'll like it 👍

We visited for the vineyard tour and tasting with lunch. What a great experience. A lovely family run vineyard. Tom was great and very knowledgeable. Lunch was an amazing ploughman's and catered well for all needs and we even got desert with a glass of wine. Recommend for a visit. Thank you Les and Tom.

Very informative and enjoyable talk followed by tasting and lovely leisurely lunch. Didn't see the vineyard owing to heavy rain but will go back another time. Great way to spend to spend a day.

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Free samples were provided, and the information about the grapes and style was very detailed. We were able to purchase our wine and arranged pickup the following day when we had our transport, rather than trying to carry it all home!

Booked a tour and taste. Was a very nice morning. The vineyard is absolutely beautiful. Les the owner is also very good, communication booking was very quick and his knowledge and presentation of the tour was good fun. Definitely worth a visit. And got to taste some great wine too.

Wow, what an brilliant find. Was greeted by a loverly woman who gave us a warm welcome. Had a enjoyable walk around the vineyards before returning to sample the fantastic wines they produce. The lady was extremely knowledgeable about the vineyard and products, answering every question I threw at her. After explaining I like sweet wine she persuaded me to dry wine first and guess what it’s got to be the best wine I’ve ever tried. Went in for one bottle, came out with 6 bottles of wine, 1 bottle of their cider and my very own vine plant. Can’t wait to visit again. Thank you.

Welcomed by a very friendly and well-informed lady to this vineyard near Framlingham. Wandered about a bit and then tasted some of the wine. Felt obliged to make 'knowledgeable noises' and mumble approvingly as I drank each little slurp but couldn't really tell the difference, Philistine that I am. Bought some cider instead!

Beautiful vineyard that's well worth visiting in Suffolk. Great food and wine served by friendly staff.
