Juneteenth, A New Way to Celebrate - Uncorked & Cultured

Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, is a celebration of liberation and the true freedom of African Americans from enslavement in the United States. As a federally observed holiday, June 19th serves as a poignant reminder for all of us to take a bow to our ancestors, acknowledging their immense contributions in building and strengthening our nation. In the spirit of celebrating culture and fostering community, Uncorked & Cultured invites you to join us for a unique Juneteenth Experience in Napa, taking place from June 16th to 20th, 2021.

Honoring the Legacy:

Napa, known for its lush vineyards and world-class wines, has a history intertwined with the stories of Black individuals who migrated to the region well before the Civil War. These individuals, both formerly enslaved and free, brought with them a diverse range of skills, from carpentry to ranching and farming. By the mid-1850s, Napa was home to 13 Black families, including the Canner family from Missouri. Paul Canner, the formerly enslaved patriarch, worked as a teamster and owned land that later housed a crucial school for Black education.

Cultivating Pride in the Vineyards:

Today, the legacy of these pioneers lives on in the hands of Black Napa winemakers who till, plant, and harvest wines that rival and often surpass local, national, and international counterparts. The sacredness of the land is steeped in history, providing a profound connection to our roots. As we celebrate juneteenth in Napa, there is both joy and pride in knowing that our ancestors not only lived in this region but also played a vital role in its development, paving the way for today's generation of passionate wine entrepreneurs.
