Cobble Hill Winery

Cobble Hill represents another outstanding addition to Norfolk's flourishing wine scene, bringing quality English wine production to the picturesque village of Docking in North Norfolk. This contemporary vineyard and winery has established itself as a destination for wine lovers seeking to explore the distinctive character of East Anglian wines.

Cobble Hill: Site and Grape Varieties

The vineyard has been carefully planted with varieties that thrive in Norfolk's unique growing conditions. Bacchus, the aromatic white grape that has become something of a signature variety for English wine, grows alongside the classic Champagne grapes Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. This selection allows Cobble Hill to produce both crisp, aromatic still white wines and elegant sparkling wines that showcase the potential of North Norfolk terroir.

Norfolk's viticultural advantages are on full display at Cobble Hill. The county benefits from some of England's lowest rainfall and highest sunshine hours, while the well-drained soils provide excellent conditions for vine health. The gentle maritime influence from the nearby North Norfolk coast helps moderate temperatures, extending the growing season and allowing grapes to develop complex flavours.

Visitors to Cobble Hill can experience the full journey from vine to glass. The on-site winery means that all production takes place on the estate, allowing guests to see exactly how their wine is made. Tours are available, providing insight into both the viticultural practices in the vineyard and the winemaking techniques employed in the cellar.

The winery's shop offers the opportunity to taste and purchase wines directly, with knowledgeable staff on hand to guide visitors through the range. With disabled access and a dog-friendly policy, Cobble Hill welcomes all visitors to discover why Norfolk has become one of England's most exciting emerging wine regions.
