This year, we proudly present the premiere of “Vanguard of the Vines: A Bold Conversation on Black Winemaking,” a compelling seated tasting and panel discussion that puts the spotlight on some of the most trailblazing voices in the wine world today.

🍷 What to Expect:

Enjoy our curated Summer Wine List and a delicious tasting menu of small bites, paired with premium wines from Black winemakers who are changing the face of the industry. This exclusive afternoon gathering will feature intimate storytelling and powerful insights from three dynamic winemakers, each of whom is reshaping an industry rooted in tradition.

From navigating systemic barriers to building thriving brands, these wine visionaries—especially Black women—will share candid reflections on their journeys, their craft, and the future of Black winemaking. The panel will also discuss timely issues including the impact of potential new tariffs on wine production and imports.

🎙️ Panel Discussion Highlights:

• The path to recognition in a competitive industry

• The cultural and economic forces influencing Black winemaking
