Exploring Black Wines No. 7
Saturday August 2, 2025 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Join us for the next class in the Exploring Black Wines series – featuring all new wines to explore curated by New York Kitchen Beverage Education Manager Maiah Johnson Dunn.
In 1940, John June Lewis, Sr. opened Woburn Winery in Virginia – selling wines made from estate grapes through his passing in 1974. It is thought to be the first Black American-owned commercial winery – and the only winery operating in Virginia at the time. In 1972, Raymond Fedderman opened what is thought to be the second Black-owned winery with Fedderman Wine Co. in our very own Prattsburgh, NY.
Today, there are over 11,000 wineries in the U.S. and less than 1% are Black-owned or made. But, within that small fraction is a dynamic group of people making impactful wines that feel far larger than their market share. All here because Lewis, Sr., and Fedderman paved the way.
In this class, you’ll enjoy a curated flight of five *new* wines served with a pairing plate and leave having discovered a delicious world of wine you’ve been missing.
