A Toast to Diversity and Excellence

At the heart of the Sip & Savor Wine Fest is our commitment to supporting the Noir Vintage Fund, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by the esteemed sommelier Frederick Hill. The Fund's mission is to cultivate diversity within the wine industry by providing scholarships and resources to minority individuals passionate about viticulture and enology. Through this event, we aim to raise awareness and funds to empower aspiring wine professionals, fostering a community where talent thrives regardless of background.
