The Flint Tour
Flint Tours are your best bet for finding out more about life at Flint: What we do, why, and how it ends up tasting so good. Hosted by our experienced Cellar Door team or by winemakers Ben, Oli or Dan, it’ll change how you think about what’s in your glass - for good.
We'll head into the vineyard and explain why we think think that planting 10 hectares of vines in Norfolk was a brilliant idea. Then it’s into the the winery to explore the blend of art, science and possibility, which makes up our approach to winemaking.
Then we’ll guide you through four of our most popular wines - overlooking the vines if the weather is playing nice, otherwise it’s all inside into the cosy cellar door barn.

The tour lasts around 90 minutes plus the guided tasting, potentially more if you get us talking too much.

Frequently asked questions
If you can't find the answer to your question here, just email enquiries@flintvineyard.com and we'll be happy to help.
What if it rains?
We run our tours in all weather!
Please dress accordingly for the weather, if it's wet then raincoats and umbrellas are a must. If it's cold, please wrap up warm.
Sensible footwear is advised, but we'll mostly be on grass in the garden/vineyard so it's not too treacherous.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes!
We are dog friendly. It is worth noting though that there are often rabbits, pheasants and other animals throughout the vineyard, so if your dog likes chasing things, it might be best to keep them on a leash!
Can I bring children?
Yes, free of charge for under 18s on our tours. They won't be able to try any wines during tastings.
We are a working farm, so it's best not to let children run off too far, but we are family friendly and you're welcome to come and relax in the barn or garden.
Our Sundays at Camphill are also a really relaxed family friendly afternoon, with good food, great wine and some music.
Can you cater to vegans?
Yes! We can cater to any dietary requirements, as long as you let us know in advance when you're booking.
If we don't know ahead of the booked date, we may not be able to cater to you on the day.
Accessibility
We have low mobility parking at the farm by the winery. We aim to keep this available for those that need it most even on our busiest Camphill events. From there it's smooth concrete to the Cellar Door Shop and Wine Bar, and to the Winery as well.
The garden and vineyard are across some gravel and grass, but we're working on making this more accessible.
Rescheduling & Cancellations
You can reschedule your booking at any time up to 72 hours before. You can do this through your booking email, or by emailing us at enquiries@flintvineyard.com
If it's not possible to reschedule, you can also cancel up to 72 hours before the day should you need to, with no questions asked, for a full refund. You can do this through your booking email, or by emailing us at enquiries@flintvineyard.com
If it's closer than 72 hours, we are unable to alter your booking, reschedule or cancel.
Should you have any questions, please email enquiries@flintvineyard.com
