Napa Valley's First Black-Owned Winery Is A Chic Step
In The Right Direction
Napa Valley's first Black-owned winery is also its chicest.
Brown Estate is a second-generation winery co-helmed by three siblings: Deneen, Coral, and David Brown. Their parents initially invested in the winery in 1980. Bassett and Marcela Brown bought some land in Napa Valley and sold zinfandel grapes to other winemakers.

But 16 years later, the Brown children decided to bring the grapes they'd been selling in-house to create a winery of their own. And thus, Brown Estate was born.
Brown Estate is making waves as the only Black-owned winery in Napa Valley, but that's not the only reason people are talking about it.
The winery itself is to die for. You can see why people are freaking out about how chic this place is. While most wineries opt for an airy feel with light color palettes, this winery is kind of sexy and almost has a New York bar vibe.
With those super-high ceilings, lush brick, and calming blue-and-black accent tones, it would be easy to sit in this winery all day long with a bottle... or two... or three.
