The sold-out event promises to be an unforgettable experience that celebrates the richness and diversity of Black-owned wineries around the world.
“We’ve been graciously shifted to the Penn Museum,” Sonia Blount, the founder of the festival and lead curator of Kabila Events, tells The Philadelphia Tribune. Last year’s event was held at Cherry Street Pier.
Blount continues, “It’s a great space. It’s really fly, and they have a lot of exhibitions that connect directly to wine and wine history, so I’m really excited for everybody to see it.”
A Celebration of Black-Owned Wines, Art and Style
The sold-out event promises to be an unforgettable experience that celebrates the richness and diversity of Black-owned wineries around the world. In addition to wine tastings, the evening will also include a curated food and cocktail menu, live music and entertainment, art exhibits, complimentary museum access, and wine-tasting education.
“There’s going to be a lot going on,” says Blount. “I like to say it’s like a block party for wine tasting.”
Several companies will be in attendance, including Mermaid Spirits, Yachi Blanc ’22, Amour Geneve, Strange Fruit Wines/Strange Fruit Collection, Castlebridge Wine Company, Bent Wine Co, The Wine Garden, Venecia Green Cellars, Titos, Bubbles & Brews Philly, and Gem Life + Bar.
Tito’s Vodka and City Winery are sponsoring the event, per The Philadelphia Tribune.
“Our Mission is to provide access and recognition to the thriving Black Wine Community,” a statement on the website reads. “We set out to collaborate with Black Wine brands to highlight wine varietals and the company’s rich history. We are intentional about curating brands that provide quality wine and customer experience.”
