About HERitage Wines

HERitage Wines is a wine brand, created and owned by a Black woman, established to address the underrepresentation of Black individuals in wine culture, from consumption and knowledge to production and ownership. The brand offers wine experiences for Black women in Durham and nearby areas, focusing on education, exposure, access, and community, to empower them to feel more comfortable and valued in the wine spaces.

Ashley Rawlinson, Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) Level 2 certified, recently featured in Forbes, a Roots Fund scholar, and founder of HERitage Wines, started this brand due to the lack when it comes to Black people who drink, know about, are educated in, make, own, and/or have memorable and unique experiences in wine.

While no one is excluded, HERitage Wines was designed by HER, caters to HER and intentionally supports Black women who enjoy and drink wine.
