About the Winemaker

Meet Chanitta Westbrooks — Founder & Winemaker of Amani Vines Winery.

Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, Chanitta Westbrooks is continuing a legacy that started generations ago in her great-grandmother’s basement, where homemade wine was crafted with love, patience, and community spirit. Those basement batches weren’t just about wine; they were about family, storytelling, and tradition.

As a modern-day winemaker and proud mother, Chanitta built Amani Vines Winery as a space where legacy meets luxury. Every bottle reflects her belief that wine is more than a drink— it’s an experience that connects the past, celebrates the present, and pours into the future.

With her daughter by her side, she’s carrying forward a family tradition while building a brand rooted in heritage, peace, and generational wealth.

At Amani Vines, every pour is a tribute to Cleveland roots, family legacy, and the belief that peace can truly be bottled.
