How we know this
Ownership has since changed. The winery ceased operations shortly after John June Lewis Sr.'s death in 1974; his grandson is currently working to restore the family farm and the Woburn Winery legacy, but it is not currently operating as a winery.
On this being a Black-owned business:
“The Woburn Winery is the first Black American-owned winery in the U.S.”
