Seven Springs Farms and Vineyard Speaks on Wine, Business, and Legacy in PBS Series, “Black Issues Forum”
Owners Preston and Clara Williams share their journey with host Kenia Thompson and executive producer Deborah Holt Noel.
Seven Springs Farms and Vineyard is once again shining in the spotlight—this time on public television. Owners Preston and Clara Williams were recently featured on the latest episode of the PBS series, Black Issues Forum, now in its 40th season.
Executive producer Deborah Holt Noel and host Kenia Thompson traveled to Norlina in July to capture the story behind the family-owned business, which has grown into one of Warren County’s premier destinations for wine, culture, and community.
In the episode titled “Savoring Ownership: Black Voices in the Wine Industry,” the Williamses’ sons, Cornelius and Jamal, also shared their perspectives on working alongside their family. They discussed their roles in both the business and creative sides of Seven Springs and how they’re helping to build its lasting legacy.
Seven Springs Farm and Vineyard is located at 332 Axtell-Ridgeway Street in Norlina, NC. For more information about their wine selection and upcoming events, visit their website at SevenSpringsVineyards.com.
