Over the weekend, 11 women—10 Black, one white—were kicked off the Napa Valley Wine Train after a customer complained the book club members were too loud. According to one of the women involved, the ladies were paraded through the train into the care of four waiting cops, causing the group to feel humiliated.

Despite the Napa Valley Wine Train debacle, Black people love vino, too. What many don’t know, however, is we also produce it.

From the vineyards in South Africa, to those across the U.S., Black owned wineries are waiting for you to visit.

So here are 5 Black-owned California Wineries to give your hard-earned money to instead of the Napa Valley Wine Train.

1. Have been to Rideau many times...

and used to belong to the wine club. Wines are GREAT! Big, bold and opulent...try the Viognier....fabulous. And the locals are NOT fans of the Train...
