A special wedding anniversary gift led us to this special place in Surlingham Norfolk. With its 58,500 vines with almost 1.5 million bunches of grapes, Overlooking the River Yare which rises near Shipdham snakes it’s way eastwards through Norwich to picturesque Surlingham and eventually out to the North Sea, Our Favourite part of the Winbirri experience was tasting the wine and hearing about The meticulous methodology that is applied in order to achieve perfection in clarity, nose and taste. Then Finally, leaving with a dozen bottles to sample at our leisure. A highly recommended day out on a perfect sunny afternoon. The gardens are open at the weekends together with the rustic bar.

We had been bought tickets as a present, and we booked for the morning tour.
It was a glorious sunny day, and the Vineyard is a lovely setting.
The tour was really informative, and the owner made it interesting. I’ve done a couple of these at different Vineyards and I learnt more at this one that at others. It wasn’t too technical - he kept it interesting and described their processes of wine making, and growing grapes in a really easy to understand way. He must’ve done this tour hundreds of times - but he seemed to really enjoy talking about their wine/grapes and it didn’t feel scripted.
The wine tasting was great - we tasted 5 wines and each one was explained in really simple terms - none of it was too complicated and no “wine snobbery”. Just really good wine described in a nice, simple way.
We really enjoyed the tour and tasting - I wish we had booked the charcuterie boards for afterwards as they looked really good!

What a fantastic day. As a treat for my 30th, my fiancé and I attended a wine tasting experience and vineyard tour.

Firstly, the owner was brilliant so knowledgeable; interesting to listen to and made some quite complicated procedures accessible to everybody in the audience.

The tour consisted of around an 90min tour of the vineyard and winery, before a 90min wine tasting. Now, obviously the wine was incredible but several things to note: the amount of wine, for each of the 5 glasses of wines tasted, was incredibly generous; the meat and cheese platter was delicious and the tasting was informative and engaging.

Cannot rate highly enough!
