Burn Valley Vineyard

Discovering Burn Valley Vineyard

Tucked away on the family farm in North Creake, Burn Valley Vineyard embodies Norfolk's emerging wine country. Two sisters, Laura and Samantha, collaborate with their brother, who farms the surrounding land, to cultivate nine grape varieties: reds like Early Pinot, Rondo, Regent, and Pinot Noir; whites including Bacchus, Chardonnay, Solaris, Seyval Blanc, and Schonburger. Every bottle of red, white, rosé, and sparkling wine is crafted entirely on-site in their state-of-the-art winery, from vine to glass.

Wine Tastings and Experiences

Visitors are welcome to the on-site shop daily from 11am to 3pm (Monday-Saturday; closed Sundays). Seasonal tastings elevate the visit: winter sessions in a cozy marquee feature six wines paired with platters from 12pm-2pm through April 2026, while summer tastings on Thursdays and Saturdays from April 2026 include the signature Burn Valley platter at 12pm and 2pm. Book ahead for these hosted events, where passionate staff share insights into winemaking experiments and unique flavors.

The Vineyard Setting

The vineyard's rural charm offers a peaceful escape, with rolling fields and fresh Norfolk air. Even on spontaneous drop-ins, guests receive warm hospitality—winemaker Matt might personally guide an impromptu tasting. Families, couples, and wine enthusiasts alike praise the welcoming vibe, excellent platters, and innovative wines that surprise with their quality despite the modest setting.

Grape Varieties and Production

Burn Valley's diverse plantings allow for a broad portfolio. Whites shine with aromatic Bacchus and crisp Chardonnay, while reds deliver bold notes from Pinot Noir blends. Sparkling wines capture the region's terroir, fermented and bottled with meticulous care. The family's hands-on approach ensures authenticity, making each visit a deep dive into small-scale English winemaking.
