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.

Join the Warren County Senior Center for an educational outing to Kim’s Vineyard and Winery on Thursday, January 23, 2025. This experience will include a tour of the vineyard and a lecture on the science of winemaking, as well as the challenges of maintaining a vineyard to produce the perfect grape.

The group will depart from the Senior Center at 11:00 AM and return by 2:00 PM. Best of all, the outing is completely free, including transportation and lunch.

While visiting Kim’s Vineyard and Winery, guests will have the opportunity to purchase a variety of homegrown canned vegetables and fruits at their own expense.

Kim’s Vineyard and Winery is a treasured gem in Warren County, established in 1995 by Cheryl and Walter Royster. What began as a hobby for Mr. Royster—planting a few rows of grapes to test his green thumb—has grown into a thriving operation.

By 2004, the Roysters expanded their passion project to include a winery.

Today, the vineyard spans over five acres of land, with the winery adding another two acres. This family-operated business offers a welcoming, community-focused atmosphere and boasts a selection of more than 18 different types of wine, ensuring there’s something to suit every palate.

Don’t miss this chance to explore a unique part of Warren County’s agricultural and cultural heritage. Seating for this outing is limited, so be sure to reserve your spot early.
