In south Durham, Melanated Wine is finally off the ground. The owner, Illinois native Lashonda Modest, moved her family to North Carolina 10 years ago. "When anyone consumes our wine, you're uncorking the culture," said Modest.
Durham's first Black-owned winery opened on Wednesday in the Southside Industrial Park of Durham.
The owner aims to pour inspiration into others while making fine wine more accessible to all.
True craftsmanship was the catalyst for selecting only the finest Blackberries for this unique fruit wine. It is the culmination of a DREAM, and the possibility of bringing this bold aspiration to reality. Let the perfection of sweet deliciousness tickle your tastebuds as you Dream your own Dream.

Good energy is a feeling that cannot be contained! Sangria should be a VIBE, and we accomplished this by combining Mango, excitement, and white grapes that will keep your party going all night. Served cold and crisp, our Sangria is a movement; to inspire bold, and courageous people, to be who they were designed to be unapologetically. Consider our Sangria a VIBE for those who move to the beat of their own drum and make their own rules.
