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

But 16 years after the land was initially bought, the Brown children decided to take the grapes they'd been selling and bring them in-house to create a winery of their own. And thus, Brown Estate was born.
Although Brown Estate is making waves as the only black-owned winery in Napa Valley, that's not the only reason people are talking about it.
The space of 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 feeling with light color palettes, this winery is kind of sexy, and almost has a New York bar feel to it.
With those super high ceilings, that lush brick, and those 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.
