Two Seatings: December 28th and 29th at 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM

This holiday season Soul of Sonoma is teaming up with 1010 Wine & Events to host the first Kwanzaa Extravaganza seven-course wine pairing dinner! Kwanzaa was officially recognized as a holiday in the 1960s to empower and connect Black communities after the wake of the Watts riots, so it’s fitting that we host this elegant inaugural event at the first black-owned and only wine bar in Inglewood, CA. Kwanzaa's name ties back to the Swahili phrase "matunda ya kwanza," meaning the first harvest. And we look forward to curating a bountiful harvest of gourmet food and delicious wine from black winemakers for Kwanzaa Extravaganza guests! The Kwanzaa Extravaganza seatings are planned for December 28th and 29th at 6:00 PM.

At the heart of this Kwanzaa celebration is delicious food prepared by four Los Angeles area chefs. The dinner will feature a unique take on cuisine that embraces and celebrates the African diaspora. The dinners will give a nod to the final night of Kwanzaa, where family members and friends gather together for Karamu, enjoying dishes from West African and southern culinary traditions. The menu will include riffs on traditional dishes such as black-eyed peas and rice, gumbo, jambalaya, collard greens, and other favorites.
