Academy of Wine: Celebrating Black Voices in Wine

Join us for this very special annual event, as we shine a spotlight on an incredible lineup of wines from Black producers and Black-owned wineries, this time in a new larger festival format! It's the perfect way to enjoy great wine in great company, while supporting outstanding people in the wine industry who are too often underrepresented. Come out and have a great time, for a great cause!

This year, the event once again will support The Two Eighty Project, and our winery lineup includes:

• Fog Crest Vineyard
• McBride Sisters
• Theopolis Vineyards
• Featured wines from Breakthru Beverage Group
• and more

NEW THIS YEAR: as the event has grown with more wineries participating, we will hold the event in a "festival" style where you can sample wines at different stations at your leisure. 

The Two Eighty Project is an outstanding local nonprofit organization dedicated to "building a sustainable food and wine community that nourishes every member of the local economy and ecosystem," as well as working to diversify the wine industry and provide educational and financial opportunities for tomorrow's wine makers.
