"At Black Vines I found a growing community of Black winemakers, vinters, artists, wine-adjacent entrepreneurs, and supporters from across the United States; what Fern Stroud conceived in 2010 has taken on a life of its own, bringing together major and smaller brands for an annual Oakland event that introduces Black winemakers to new audiences, and offering year-round Black-owned wine tours that visit tasting rooms in the Bay Area, Sonoma, and Napa while providing transportation from Black-owned companies." - Shayna Conde
