Multi-award-winning Foxbury Fields Vineyard at Bromsberrow celebrated a significant milestone recently as it marked 10 years since its first vines were planted in 2016.
The business was co-founded by Heather Williamson and Richard Baker whose shared love of the countryside and their passion for producing exceptional English wine inspired the venture.
Heather, who is also Hereford-based Wyevale Nurseries’ Chairman, explains: “Reaching our 10-year anniversary is incredibly special. What started as a shared idea and a passion for the land has grown into something we’re truly proud of.
“Every vine we planted back in June 2016 has been nurtured with care and each bottle we produce reflects not just the character of the season, but the place we call home here in Herefordshire. It’s been an amazing journey so far and we’re very excited for what the future holds.
“It’s an incredibly exciting time to be part of the English wine industry. According to our sector’s leading body WineGB, UK production rose by 39% in 2025, with one of the earliest and ripest harvests ever recorded thanks to the weather.
“English wine is going from strength-to-strength and last year was particularly special for us with a WineGB Award for our 2023 Ortega. We’ve been fortunate to receive lots of recognition and awards during the last few years for our wines, but what matters most is seeing just how far English wine has come. All eyes are now on the 2026 season!”
Last year, Foxbury Fields Vineyard joined five other independent vineyards in Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and Worcestershire to pool their experience, expertise and reputation for growing great grapes and making excellent wines.
Collectively, they are known as The Malvern Hills Vineyards, www.malvernhillsvineyards.co.uk, and grow 14 grape varieties across more than 68 acres.
Heather adds: “We’re very proud of the cultivation, land management and environmental practices we’ve implemented at our vineyard, as well as the award-winning wines we make and were delighted we celebrated our 10th anniversary with friends, family and colleagues.”
