Valley Farm Vineyards

What's the vibe?

Valley Farm Vineyards offers a calm, rural vineyard experience in the Suffolk countryside, with an emphasis on taking things slowly and enjoying wine in its natural setting. Visits feel informal and personal, with the owners closely involved in hosting tours, tastings, and stays among the vines.

Valley Farm Vineyards welcomes visitors by prior arrangement, and it’s recommended to contact the vineyard directly before visiting to confirm availability.



Tours & Tastings:

Guided vineyard tours are available by arrangement and are typically followed by a tasting of the estate’s wines. Experiences are small-scale and tailored rather than run to a fixed public schedule.

Food Experiences:

Valley Farm offers bookable vineyard experiences that combine tours with food, including a picnic experience and a wood-fired pizza experience where guests prepare and enjoy their own pizza on site. These experiences must be arranged in advance.

Accommodation:

The vineyard offers on-site accommodation in the Cabin in the Vines, a secluded stay set among the vineyard rows. The cabin sleeps up to three people and is available year-round.

Dogs:

Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome on vineyard tours. Dogs are also permitted in the Cabin in the Vines by prior arrangement and for an additional fee.

Accessibility:

The vineyard is a working, outdoor site with uneven ground and shingle paths. As a result, some areas may not be suitable for visitors with limited mobility.

Valley Farm Vineyards produces small-batch, single-estate still and sparkling English wines. The range includes still white and rosé wines, along with sparkling white and sparkling rosé wines. Grape varieties grown include Madeleine Angevine, Pinot Gris, Auxerrois, Pinot Meunier, and Pinot Noir.

The vineyard’s Madeleine Angevine has received particular recognition, including a Gold award at the UKVA Competition in 2016. Their sparkling rosé, Sundancer, has also received international recognition, earning a Silver medal at the International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC).

While grapes are grown and harvested at Valley Farm, winemaking is carried out in collaboration with Knightor, rather than on site. The vineyard focuses on sustainable viticulture suited to its local soil and climate, and uses solar power to support the Cabin in the Vines accommodation.

By car:

Valley Farm Vineyards is located on Rumburgh Road, Wissett, Suffolk, IP19 0JJ. Free parking is available on site.
