The vineyard has garnered multiple accolades for its wines. At the June 2025 Wine GB East Anglia Awards, Burn Valley Vineyard impressively secured six awards, with their 2024 Marsh Rosé being crowned Wine of the Year – a first for a rosé in the competition. They also received the award for best Red Wine at the same event. Their 2022 Chardonnay was recognised as the best still wine at the Independent English Wine Awards. Additionally, their Blanc de Blanc 2021 won a Gold Medal in the Sea Breeze category at the Glass of Bubbly Awards 2024, where their Sparkling Rosé 2021 earned a Silver Medal in the Light & Fruity category. Mathew Abbey, the head winemaker who honed his skills in New Zealand, oversees production in their on-site winery.
