Nania's Vineyard

High Street Hero - Shelley Nania & James Bayliss-Smith

Nania’s Vineyard was planted as a passion project by documentary cameraman James Bayliss-Smith and Shelley Nania. We inherited a 50 year old grape vine in our garden and subsequently caught the wine bug. We planted a small vineyard on our allotment behind our family home in Montpelier, right in the heart of Bristol. We planted just 30 vines back in 2017 and while our first vintage was fermenting last year (strictly for our personal stash!) much bigger ideas were brewing.
