Wine vineyards are always popular summer road-trip destinations, but less than one percent of the country’s 8,702 wineries are owned by people of color. There are however some incredible Black-owned wine producers from Napa to Virginia planting and harvesting their own grapes and producing libations for our enjoyment.
With COVID-19 limiting travel options in 2020, refocusing on domestic experiences is an avenue we can take to get out of the house this summer.
So, let’s celebrate and visit these Black-owned vineyards, winemakers, and sommeliers that are carving out their own spot in an industry lacking people of color.
