Aamira Garba

Meet Aamira Garba, an award-winning winemaker from Orange, NJ. Despite thriving in her career as a Marketing Executive in the tech industry, Aamira felt a longing for something more. After a transformative read of “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho, she realized that her happiness lay in pursuing her passion for wine.
Embracing her love for wine and its culture, Aamira made the bold decision to launch LoveLee Wine in 2016, all while maintaining her full-time job. Her mission? Not only to fulfill her own dreams but also to create a path for more Black women to flourish in the Wine & Spirits industry. Aamira's journey is a testament to the power of following one's heart and forging a path that brings joy not just to oneself, but to others as well.
Aamira is an accomplished winemaker whose wines have been recognized in VinePair as one of the top 50 wines of 2021, and top 25 Pinot Noir of 2021 (the only Black owned brand on the list). Her story was also recently featured on Forbes.com. LoveLee Wine was named Wine Brand of the year and Aamira named Innovator of the Year/Who's Next at the 2021 Wine & Culture Fest. Aamira has been featured on numerous wine blogs and podcasts including the Swirl Suite podcast and NJmom.com as the MOMpreneur of the week. She is a Roots Fund Scholarship recipient and a member of the JJL chapter of the Hue Society. In Sept. of 2021 she passed her WSET level 3 certification with distinction and enjoys teaching newbies and winelovers the art of wine tasting. When not wearing her marketing or LoveLee hats, she is a devoted & proud helicopter mom to 2 beautiful girls named Heaven Lee and Lyric Lee. This journey is for them.
