TEMECULA, Calif. - Californer -- Noir Vine Society, one of Southern California's fastest-growing wine communities, today announced the launch of a month-long Black Business Month initiative designed to increase visibility for Black-owned wine brands and entrepreneurs throughout August.

The initiative includes a new interview series highlighting Black winemakers, winery founders, and spirits entrepreneurs, along with complimentary business strategy sessions for selected Black-owned businesses and the development of a searchable online directory featuring Black-owned wine brands.

Founder Kassy Webb said the campaign reflects the organization's larger mission of creating more opportunities for representation, education, and connection throughout the wine industry.

"Noir Vine Society has always been about more than hosting wine experiences," said Webb. "Our mission has always been to build community while helping more people discover the incredible brands and founders who deserve greater visibility. Black Business Month felt like the perfect opportunity to put our platform behind that mission."

Originally launched as a digital wine education platform, Noir Vine Society has grown into a hospitality-focused wine community known for its educational winery tours, wine pairing dinners, workshops, and cultural experiences throughout Southern California. Since launching, the organization has welcomed more than 1,200 guests while expanding into new markets including the Inland Empire, Fallbrook, and San Diego Wine Country.

Throughout August, Webb will publish interviews featuring Black-owned wine brands, sharing founder stories, business insights, and recommendations with Noir Vine Society's growing audience across social media and its digital platforms.

The organization is also opening a limited number of complimentary strategy sessions for Black-owned businesses seeking guidance on marketing, brand positioning, and growth. The initiative aligns with Webb's broader commitment to supporting underrepresented entrepreneurs through education and mentorship.

In addition, Noir Vine Society is developing a new online directory that will make it easier for consumers to discover and support Black-owned wine brands year-round.

"Visibility creates opportunity," Webb said. "When consumers know these brands exist, they can intentionally support them. My hope is that this initiative becomes another bridge connecting incredible founders with the people who want to champion their businesses."
