Sip, Savor, and Celebrate: The 3rd Annual Philly Black Wine & Spirits Fest Returns With “Rosé Renaissance”

Philadelphia’s largest celebration of Black-owned and inclusive wine and spirits brands returns this fall, promising a vibrant fusion of flavor, culture, and artistry. On Saturday, September 13, the Philly Black Wine & Spirits Fest transforms into Rosé Renaissance, offering two immersive tasting sessions at a secret location revealed to ticket holders closer to the date.

Now in its third year, the festival has become a cornerstone event for wine lovers, industry tastemakers, and anyone who appreciates the artistry of spirits. Guests can expect an eclectic mix of curated wine and spirit tastings from Black-owned, local, and diverse brands, alongside food vendors, live entertainment, and interactive installations that honor Black art and culture.

With its mission to spotlight and support creative wine, spirits, and lifestyle brands, the event blends elevated tasting experiences with a welcoming, community-driven atmosphere. Every pour tells a story, every performance brings energy, and every installation celebrates the richness of Black contributions to the industry.

Two Sessions, Two Vibes

Attendees can choose between:

• Day Sips (1:00 – 4:00 PM, VIP at 12:00 PM): A lively afternoon with early VIP tastings, main stage entertainment, food demos, and interactive experiences.

• Evening Sips (7:00 – 10:00 PM, VIP at 6:00 PM): A vibrant nighttime session with DJs, performances, and a more high-energy celebration under the stars.

Both sessions feature unlimited tastings, culinary pairings, and live performances, with last call a half hour before closing.

Beyond the Glass

The festival offers more than just sips. Attendees can explore:

• Photo and Art Installations for those Instagram-worthy moments

• VIP SIPS Lounge with private tastings, intimate performances, and rare labels

• Tasting Sessions led by expert sommeliers for a deeper dive into wine appreciation

• Local Vendor Marketplace featuring artisan goods and merchandise
