Join our Wine Director and Sommelier Erin Dudley to sip a collection of fine wines from wineries owned by black winemakers

Historically, the owners of wineries have been a fairly homogenous group. Wineries in old-world wine regions have been passed down in the same families for centuries, dating back to periods when law and social structure dictated who could own land. In the new-world wine regions, money and opportunity dictate who can own and operate wineries, but there are still many societal factors that have hindered non-white communities from stepping into the wine industry in winery owner positions. Today, there are very few black-owned wineries across the globe, but the wines that these wineries are putting out are shaking up the industry, and we are so excited to share some of our favorite wines from these wineries.

Join us for a casual seated wine class where we will discuss the history and wines of some of our favorite Black-owned wineries at Planet Wine!

Included with your ticket:

  • Seated wine class with Neighborhood Restaurant Group Wine Director, Erin Dudley CSW
  • Tasting of six fine wines from Black-owned wineries
  • Small serving of artisanal cheese to accompany your tasting
  • Discounts on bottle purchases of all wines tasted
