AFRO WINE WEEK

SEPTEMBER 6– 12 2025

CAPE TOWN

You’ve mastered the lifestyle. Now it’s time to move into ownership.

Afro Wine Week is a strategic summit for wine professionals, investors, and entrepreneurs shaping the future of wine. From grape to glass, it’s built for Black founders and investors looking to access capital, expand brands, and shift the balance of power in the global wine industry.

Throughout the week, you’ll be in rooms that move differently — panels, private tastings, investor sessions, and mentorship opportunities. Whether you're launching your first label or expanding your portfolio, this is where you’ll meet the funders, buyers, and decision-makers who can move your vision forward.
