Visited with some friends and loved it here! It's a really comfortable and welcoming atmosphere with good people, good wine, karaoke and trivia at the end. The wines and charcuterie trays were delicious and we loved how one of the owners presented the storyline for their wine selection. The owners are professional and have a wonderful, friendly personality! We are planning more visits for next year. Thank you!

I came for ladies night and the vibes were super chill. The white blend is really delicious if you like pino grigio or chardonnay. I ordered 1 glass and felt good after!! The owner is really friendly and knowledgeable about the wine industry. I can't wait to come back and get more wine! Support local black business in Durham 💛

First time visiting and Shonda gave me an amazing experience. I was lucky to find an event they were hosting from Eventbrite and between karaoke and the wine this place lets you have fun all by yourself or with friends. Definitely a recommendation for a fun early night out.

Visited the first black owned winery in Durham. I believe this one is custom crush they create their own wine. This was a girls weekend , we were looking to support black owned businesses. The staff was great from the greeting to hosting. Go visit, we definitely fell in love with the vibes!

We loved our experience here. Lashonda makes this experience so personable you can't help but have a great time. We did the standard wine tasting and fell in love with vibe, dream, and manifest. We took a little quiz that allowed us to learn a little bit about wine and win a slushie tasting. The atmosphere is nice, she even played some music so we could do some line dances, lol. This was a spur-of-the-moment visit but they do have a lot of scheduled events and we will be back.
