Discover the Legacy of an English vineyard at Winbirri Estate
Founded in 2007 by Stephen Dyer, a local farmer and entrepreneur with a passion for wine, the Winbirri Estate became the first significant wine-making estate in Norfolk. Stephen’s dream was realized when his son, Lee Dyer, took over in 2010 after returning from Asia and Australia and completing his studies in Viticulture at Plumpton. Under Lee’s leadership, the estate saw two more major plantings in 2010 and 2012, solidifying its place as a premier English Wine Producer.
