A Norfolk vineyard has announced the date for its annual summer party with a lineup of jazz, food and award-winning wine to look forward to.

Burn Valley Vineyard will host its annual Summer Party at the North Creake vineyard on August 24.

The event is free to Burn Valley wine club members and £40 to non-members. Tickets will also include a drink on arrival.

"There’s no better way to pay homage to the stunning Norfolk countryside than drinking Burn Valley wine.

The vineyard recently got a shout-out from Guardian wine expert Fiona Beckett, who named its 2022 Chardonnay in her list of six English wines to enjoy, describing it as a "sumptuously rich chardonnay that bears comparison with good white burgundy".

Its 2022 Chardonnay also won a gold medal at the 2024 Independent English Wine Awards (IEWA) last month.

From this selection, a variety of red, white, rose and sparkling wines are produced.

The vineyard also hosts a series of regular events including summer wine tastings, secret suppers and steak nights.
