Planted in 2009 Babu's vineyard is a small, artisan vineyard and winery in the heart of Norfolk located in the ancient village of Weston Longville (formerly the Saxon settlement of Westum). This is possibly the first ever vineyard to be planted in this area, and certainly the first for a thousand years since the Domesday book was compiled.

On his retirement Peter Ross decided to plant a vineyard and, with the help of friends and neighbours, this became a reality in 2009. Their continued help, especially at harvest time, is always greatly appreciated.
Following successful early grape harvests Peter decided to establish a winery which has subsequently produced a succession of award winning wines.
What started out as a hobby has turned into an artisan family business. You are invited to sample its success through vineyard tours and tastings and of course bottles of the wines.
