About This Event

40+ wines. Black & Brown producers. One night in Williamsburg. Come taste what you’ve been missing.

On September 18, POP Pairings, Bed- Vyne and Bringbkback brings together wine, food, music and culture for the Black & Brown Winemakers Experience — an all-inclusive evening for curious wine drinkers, seasoned wine lovers, and everyone in between.

Taste your way through 40+ wines from Black and Brown winemakers and producers, enjoy curated bites and crafted mocktails, and use your own 60-second Flavor Profile to help guide you toward wines that match your palate.

No wandering around wondering, “What should I try next?” We’re helping you find your pour.

All of it unfolds to music by DJ Spinna, hosted by Ken Pettus, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

The Reserve Circle begins at 6:00 PM sharp— 90 minutes before the Tasting Experience opens — giving a limited number of guests a more intimate, guided wine experience before joining the full evening.

Your Reserve Circle ticket includes everything in the Tasting Experience, plus:

6:00 PM early admission
An intimate 90-minute sommelier-led tasting
Reserve wines not available during the general tasting
Special food and wine pairings created for the Reserve Circle
A blind tasting challenge
More direct interaction with the wine professionals guiding the experience
VIP-only raffles, surprises and experiences
Access to Reserve Circle wines throughout the evening

The Reserve Circle is intentionally limited so the tasting remains personal, guided and immersive.

At 7:30 PM, Reserve Circle guests join the full Tasting Experience and continue enjoying the wines, food, music and festivities for the rest of the evening.

WHY THIS NIGHT?

Black and Brown winemakers and producers remain dramatically underrepresented in the American wine industry. This night is about changing what — and who — gets discovered.

Not through a lecture. Through a glass.

Come taste wines you may never have encountered on your usual shelf. Learn what your palate actually likes. Discover a few new bottles to love. Eat well. Hear great music. Meet people. And experience wine in a way that feels welcoming, social and alive.

A portion of proceeds benefits The Veraison Project, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit expanding access, education and leadership opportunities for Black and Brown professionals in the wine industry.
