The Walsingham Estate has been a custodian of this North Norfolk land for generations. Our vineyard is the latest chapter in that story of stewardship – planted where the soil, aspect, and microclimate have been shaped by centuries of careful land management.
Planted in April 2019 with three varieties – Bacchus, Solaris, and Pinot Noir – harvested using both mechanical and hand-picking methods to optimise quality for each variety and vintage. Every bottle of Walsingham wine reflects that heritage: patience, attention to terroir, and respect for the land.

This Stiffkey Valley field depends on thoughtful stewardship, just as our vineyard depends on its soil, aspect, and microclimate. That’s why we tend our vines with minimal chemical intervention, maintaining the biodiversity that defines this Norfolk terroir
As vineyard stewards, we understand our complete dependence on this Norfolk land, just as it depends on us. That’s why we grow our grapes with minimal intervention, allowing the biodiversity to thrive.
