Wine Unify was founded on the belief that education is the cornerstone to progress in any field. Yet many ethnic and racial minorities experience significant barriers to entry – be it financial, mentorship, or a general feeling of exclusion.

We do this by way of outreach, awards, and education, as well as various other elements within our initiatives. Join us!
