Enjoyed meeting ¿Senecca? cool dude today/SAT at 5pm, BUT found out this is an event ctr that required 15 person minmum for service. Disappointed straight out the gates on that one! Seen ample advertising and PR about this winery was what we wanted to support in the black community. Was told they just ended a week prior for any individual pours or tastings by the glass for persons individually and went to group only WOW, SAD & SMH. But as a newbie to NC from out of state LOL Durham never disappoints when it comes to the any basic ammenties, black social gatherings and local cultural expectations of fullfilment and experience. I don't want to RAG on this establishment but IF you consider improvements and having engagement without sacrificing customers this way, BELIEVE Me I will try to continue to support your entreprenuer offering and hospitality. Best Wishes to Melanated Wine and hopefully more local suppprt. BTW did purchase the NC grown vinyard grape offerings of the Reisling wine by MW.

What a great winery, and it is locally owned. The wine tasting was great and the owner was very knowledgeable. Both the owner and the manger were awesome, kind, and friendly. If you are in the area please go support them and check them out. We will be returning to do another wine tasting again.

I had the pleasure of having a wine tasting with a group of my closest family and friends from Virginia and Maryland for my birthday. The experience we had at melanated wines was absolutely amazing. The owner and her husband had such great hospitality and customer service. The knowledge learned about each wine was fun and not long and boring. The wine trivia was also fun even though I didn’t win lol. I would definitely recommend melanated wines to anyone.

Came here with my wife to celebrate our anniversary. Had a wonderful experience. I really enjoyed the selections of wine they had as well as the urban vibe.

I was one of 10 for a tour. Our host had made arrangements 3 months ago, emailed the owner 3 weeks ago and got an email conformation of our visit at noon. The facility was locked when we arrived at 12:05; no one was around to answer the door. When our host called the owner replied she was having a staff meeting and no one would be available until 1:15. We did not stick around! We were all disappointed and extremely unsatified.

Attended the bourbon cocktail class as well as the brunch and both were Amazing! From the customer service to the wine it was an awesome experience. When you walk through the door you feel welcome. The space is small inside but it feels intimate and during the warmer months they use the back as well. I look forward to visiting again in the near future.

Such a cute cozy spot. I enjoyed my experience and I will be going back. Learning about this Black owned business and tasting the wine was impressive. Would love to see this business expand.

I was visiting and I decided on a whim to go for a tasting. I had an amazing time, the staff was amazing. It was a lovely atmosphere and the wine was fantastic.
We had such a lovely time at melanated wine , because it's a secret hidden gem we actually enjoyed our wine tasting all alone which led to an even more private and intentional experience. The wines were delicious and the host was informative and amazing will return soon
