Our vineyard
The Walsingham Estate Vineyard lies in the Stiffkey Valley, an easy walk south of Walsingham, close to the Roman Catholic Shrine at the Slipper Chapel. We chose this particular field for its gentle south-facing slope, free-draining soil studded with flint, and crucially, the underlying bed of chalk. This same chalk seam runs through south-eastern England to Champagne, Chablis and Burgundy.
The Walsingham Estate has farmed this North Norfolk land for generations. Our vineyard is the newest crop on the estate. We planted in April 2019 with three varieties: Bacchus, Solaris and Pinot Noir. They are harvested using both mechanical and hand-picking methods to optimise quality for each variety and vintage. Every bottle of Walsingham wine only contains our estate grown grapes.
