Reviewed By caks15 - Gorleston-on-Sea, United Kingdom

This was a truly informative, fascinating, enjoyable and excellent morning to celebrate my wife's birthday. Lee, the owner, is both inspired and inspiring. The tour was amazingly good value for money and including tasting five wines (generous tastes!) with nibbles included. However, access by taxi or having a driver willing to forego the tasting is essential if you wish to enjoy the wine to the full!

Giffords Hall Vineyard

Reviewed By WoolpitAreaClassic1

This was an organised tour for Woolpit Area Classics, who arrived at Giffords with 11 classic cars. The Giffords team were delighted to host our visit & thrilled to see our "prides & Joy". Also present was a photographer from the FT ready for a feature in their publication. Giffords staff are so welcoming & truly love what they do.The vineyards are set on the top of a hill overlooking wonderful Suffolk countryside. The vineyard tour was interesting, informative & brilliantly delivered by Emma. Part of their organic secrete are 3 sheep (Keith & 2 mates) who help clear the areas around the vines & trim the off the lower branches of the vines. The tour was followed by a sit down tasting where we sampled 3 wines, namely, their 2018 Rose, 2017 Bacchus & 2016 St Edmundsbury Red. What fun we had while Linda skillfully gave an informative commentary. This was a truly memorable visit for our WAC group, who enjoyed the "Giffords" experience & loved the teams enthusiasm. Thank you Giffords. John Bolden

Reviewed By F5904TEianm - Ashbourne, United Kingdom

Delightful self-guided tour of approximately 1km around a charming small scale vineyard in a lovely location followed by a tasting of first class English wines. The tour is very well laid out and delivers lots of interesting and relevant information at each point of interest. At the end of tour tasting the owners are very happy to answer any questions and clearly take great pride in their wines, which of course they are very happy to sell too you. The tour is very good value and suited to both novices and enthusiasts.

Adnams 'Make Your Own Gin' Experience - Southwold

If you've ever wanted to create your own Gin then the Adnams Make Your Own Gin experience is for you! This fascinating experience using mini copper stills takes 2-2.5 hours. An Adnams Gin Maker will guide you through the process of making your own gin, from selecting your own choice of the botanicals provided, through to the distillation process and naming, then labelling, your personal bottle.

Reviewed By V3124IEandrewd - Diss, United Kingdom

A small group of five of us taking part in this very informative, fascinating visit to the Adnams Distillery followed by a great session in the lab making our own gin. Yes - actually mixing the ingredients and then, individually distilling the gin to take with us. Finished with a tasting of the basics and different Adnams gins - excellent and with Christine’s experience and guidance the whole visit was punctuated with loads of history and detail of the beer, vodka and gin making processes - loved it !
