In this episode of the Vegans Explore Podcast, we sit down with Nicky Coachman-Robinson and Milan Baudinet Coachman-Robinson, the father-daughter founders of Kwaya Wines.
Recorded live at MAD Arts Museum during Flow and Feast, this conversation explores what truly makes wine Vegan and why many wines on the market are not. Nicky and Milan explain how animal-based fining agents like egg whites and fish byproducts are commonly used in wine production, and how Kwaya Wines takes a different approach rooted in transparency, organic farming, and biodynamic practices.
We dive into the meaning behind the name Kwaya, which translates to “seed” and reflects African heritage, intention, and sustainability. The discussion also covers clean wine, sulfites, sourcing, and why more consumers are seeking wines that align with their health, values, and lifestyle.
This episode is a must-listen for Vegans, wine lovers, and anyone interested in conscious consumption and purpose-driven brands.
