A few years ago, a friend attended a Black History Month wine tasting which featured black-owned wines. I loved this idea and asked her to write about it for the blog. Since then, I have made an effort to support black-owned wineries. I have discovered quite a few over the past few years. Therefore, I decided to do an updated blog post on black-owned wineries and businesses in 2020. Since then I have been adding to this list and it has grown to 50+ businesses! It has also led to the collaboration of two Holiday Gift Guides of wine & spirit themed gifts featuring Black-owned businesses. 

This list of black-owned wineries & businesses also includes a few podcasts that feature black winemakers. Listening to podcasts is a great way to get familiar with these winemakers and their wines. In addition, if you enjoy attending wine events, check out the list at the end of this blog post. Plan a trip to one of these wine events that promote diversity & inclusion in the wine industry.

So, what do you think of this list of black-owned wineries? Can you believe this is just a partial list? There are other black winemakers out there but I thought this was a great start. Have you tried any of these black-owned wines or supported any of the black wine businesses or events listed? If you haven’t, what better time to show support than during Black History Month!

Before you leave, you can show me some support by purchasing my Ebooks! They are available on Amazon. There are destination guides to cities all over the world for food & wine lovers and a USA wine guide that describes the major wine regions in the USA. Stay tuned to the wine section of this blog for upcoming wine posts.

2021 Wine & Spirits Holiday Gift Guide Featuring Black-Owned Businesses!

  • Welcome to Chicago! The Chi. Chi-town? What comes to mind when you think of Chicago? 
This may be my shortest reel yet but it captures a lot of my quick trip to Chicago over the Holiday weekend! 

1) an amazing stay at the new luxury hotel 🏨 downtown @thelasallechicago part of the @marriotthotels Autograph collection
2) The architecture cruise 🚢 on the Chicago river. It’s such a great way to learn the history of Chicago! 
3) a visit to Millennium Park to grab new pics by Cloud Gate AKA “the bean” 
4) Pictures by “The 🦩Flamingo” the red sculpture 
5) Dinner in Hyde Park at the Black-Owned restaurant @virtuerestaurantchi congrats to @cheferickwilliams for his James Beard award for best chef Great Lakes!
6) Dinner @hugosfrogbar with the insane macadamia turtle ice cream cake! 

I didn’t get any deep dish pizza 🍕 this time but my husbands favorite @parrishu70 (he’s from Chicago) is @giordanospizza and I still need to get to the top of the @willistowerchicago 

Have you been to Chicago? If so what are your favorite things to do there?

  • 🤣🤣. Just a reminder to still #maskup 😷and use your hand sanitizer and don’t travel if you are sick!

I have been traveling/flying about twice a month and I’m still surprised how many people are not wearing masks. People, kids, children, babies are still getting COVID-19 and being hospitalized for it. 

Get vaccinated, get your boosters. There is no guarantee that new strains won’t pop up. 

I am cautiously optimistic and I’m looking forward to finally doing more international travel but I plan to still take precautions. 

But can we talk about how funny and cool 😎 this @usher meme and performance is?!! Has anyone seen his Vegas show? Decades later and he is still an excellent performer! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

  • Happy 4th of July 🇺🇸🇺🇸weekend from CHICAGO!!
Did you really go to Chicago if you didn’t get a picture of “the bean” Actually called Cloud Gate. 
But on a Holiday weekend why was I still shocked 😳 to see lines to enter Millennium Park?!! 
A lot of content creators get up at sunrise 🌄 to get pictures without crowds and get those “Instagram vs Reality” shots. I don’t have that lol I only have the REALITY shots because I am a night owl and nocturnist and I can never get up early! 
Thank goodness the line went fast and I got my pics in 20 minutes although with lots of people in them. 

I have been here several times before but when I come to Chicago I ❤️ seeing it and capturing new pics. It’s like going to Paris. I always have to go by the Eiffel Tower. Like duhhhhh

We had the most delicious Mexican food @tacombi 
A lot of the restaurants in this area were pricy and had long lines but Tacombi is a casual Mexican eatery with Art Deco decor and savory authentic eats! 
Try the 
 🍉 margarita 😋😋
 🥑 chips & guacamole 
🌮 Baja crispy fish
🌮 Chicken tacos 
🌮sweet potatoes 🍠 and black bean 🫘-so unique!

  • It’s still June 30th in Chicago and I couldn’t let the month end without saying #happypridemonth🌈 
To all my LGTBQIA friends and followers #loveislove🏳️‍🌈
We all should have the right to be who we are, love and marry who we want. 
Equal rights for everyone. 💞

  • 📸📸📸 @iamslepton did his thing during the @key2mia tour during @blacktravelsummit 
How often do you use a professional photographer when you travel? I don’t do it often enough!
My husband and I did a professional photo shoot for our second anniversary in Paris and the pictures were beautiful. Since then we have been taking our own or rather mostly I have been taking selfies lol 
But there are so many options now. We used @flytographer but @airbnbexperiences also has options. The pics are so much nicer. 
I ❤️ these! They were taken in the Miami Design District which is a great backdrop!
