It is a hobby vineyard run by the Gillis family in their spare time. However, hobby probably underplays it a little since with 1,400 vines and an average production of around 3,000 bottles a year it is a fairly major pastime. The wines are sold locally through independent shops (including Hopton Shop, Londis at Banham and Garboldisham Shop) and through local pubs, restaurants and hotels (including Strattons at Swaffham and the Bank House Hotel in Kings Lynn).

The Brecks Food Trail see food eat food meet the producer MENU Introduction Area map Chefs Food Trails Specialist Producers Diverse Drinks Farmers Markets Farm Shops Poultry and Eggs Brecks & the borders Farmers Markets Buying Local Food is ethical, tasty & informative There is an environmental cost to transporting food around the country. Most of us think that if we buy British food this is good enough, however if we changed to buying goods that are locally produced it would make significant environmental and congestion savings. Farmers markets are a great and informative way of picking your own local fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, dairy and much more and a chance to find out the stories behind the food from the producers themselves. “All products are brought to market by the actual producers, many of whom offer free tastings and are always delighted to talk about their specialities”. Eileen Brownlow, Great Hockham, Farmers Market. “We all have to eat every day, therefore coming to a farmers’ market to buy some locally grown, baked and cooked food regularly, is a must - much more enjoyable than a trip to a supermarket, and you can sample the food too, plus listen to some regular local traditional folk from local musicians and a bit of folk dancing too“.
