There are quite a few, here is an article that lists some of them.

And Theodora Lee of Theopolis Vineyards is active on WB.
Maison Ilan and Faith Winery immediately leap to mind.
I’ve always enjoyed the wines from Brown
Her Symphony wine is unique (at least to me ) and really good !!
Bodkin, Longevity, Free Range Flower (flower wines)
Red Stitch is David Roberts wine with Rich Aurelia
Most of these lists are curated off Instagram or other social media and harder to find than they should be.
Had one of Carmen Steven’s wines a few years ago:
Xavier Flouret uQamata 2009
Amani Winery
Stellenbosch SA
14.5%. 40% Cabernet Franc, 40% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon
@ La Caye, 35 Lafayette Ave., Brooklyn $20/bottle online
Lush, creamy, full flavor but very interesting and smooth. Made by Carmen Stevens, one of SA’s first black female winemakers. Definitely worth trying again.
She’s no longer with Amani, has her own show now.
I have enjoyed wines from Vision Cellars and Theodora’s Petite Sirah (Theopolos).
Will need to explore some other producers.
Me too
In Germany (Mosel), Günther Steinmetz is currently run by Stefan and Sammie Steinmetz. Sammie is a Black woman born in Florida.
Wade Cellars owned by Dwane Wade
The wine bar at my Whole Foods reopened. They have a rosé from Brown by the glass. Very nice. Tart, dry strawberry. Beautiful pink color. Some melon and raspberry. Love the label.
Although he’s neither winemaker nor owner, Carlton McCoy is worth a mention as Heitz’s President & CEO.
Andre Mack’s wines are really solid! Wines — Maison Noir Wines
I’ve only had the more entry level ones, but thought they drank a bit above their price range.
How about a black owned Wine Importer?
His label designs are stellar too.
