This is the picture of one of the rare sheep. Notice the black wool and the large curvved horns.

 They run tours 3 times a day from February until December. Grand tours from 25 pounds a person. See vines, the winery and taste a glass of red, white and rose. 

You can also do a sparkling tour for two, 120 pounds for two including a mixed platter of cheese and biscuits and charcuterie. 

The shop sells wine flights (a set of wines, glasses of wine, for a single session. You can have still wines or sparkling wines, trying three. The cost is 10  pounds for still wines, 12  for the sparkling. 

In the shop buy gifts, candles, corkscrews, wine coolers, scarves, glasses, ceramic plant pots, local beers Mauldons, and cocktails Niche from Ipswich, in cans. 

What about children? What can they do? Children can look at the sheep, rare breed Hebridean sheep. The sheep act as lawnmowers. 
Also admire the horses. 

I tried the still wines costing 16 or 17 pounds for a bottle, and the sparkling at 27 pounds and up.

The shield on the bottle is the crest for the Norfolk Howard family. The vineyard owners are Linda and Guy Howard, decended on his side from from Katherine Howard, the wife of Henry VIII.
