The Kickback: A Celebration of Black Winemakers & Black-Owned Wineries

Some of the most exciting wine being made right now is coming from Black winemakers and Black-owned wineries. The Kickback is our chance to pour it, taste it, and celebrate the people behind it.

The Vineaux Collective's "The Kickback" is a curated tasting experience featuring wines from Black winemakers and Black-owned producers focusing around the way wine was meant to be enjoyed - with friends. No stiff seating, no dress code, no pretension. Just intentional wine exploration wrapped in the kind of energy that makes you want to stay all night.

TJ and Shayna will guide you through each pour: breaking down the stories behind the producers, the grapes, the regions, and what makes these bottles worth knowing. Education woven into conversation, not a lecture.

What's Included:

• Curated flight of wines from Black winemakers & Black-owned wineries
• Light bites & charcuterie
• Good company and even better conversation
