Meet the Founders
Brown Estate was founded in 1995 by siblings Deneen, David, and Coral Brown, who converted the family’s Napa farmland—planted in 1980—into California’s first Black-owned estate winery. Seeking a more affordable, inclusive brand, they launched House of Brown in 2018 to bring accessible, palate-driven wines to a wider audience. Deneen Brown’s vision centers on diversity and representation: each bottle’s label collage celebrates people of various genders, ethnicities, fruits, and flowers—an artistic echo of the wine’s notes and their ethos that “everyone is welcome.”
