Black Food and Wine Experience

Welcome to the Black Food & Wine Experience, Detroit. Our event, founded by Chef Mimi, is a multi-city tour celebrating Black culinary excellence, culture, and education. Originating in the Bay Area, it has expanded to multiple cities, becoming the pinnacle celebration of Black hospitality. We curate spaces where culinary artistry, wine aficionados, and diverse communities converge. Our mission is to showcase Black food, wine, and culture through meticulously organized events, including the insightful Black Food & Beverage Summit. We also support local restaurants through dinners, linking the grand tasting experience to vibrant dining establishments. Join us in this extraordinary journey of diversity and excellence.

Who We Are

At the helm of the Black Food & Wine Experience is Chef Mimi—a culinary virtuoso and a passionate advocate for celebrating the diversity of Black culinary artistry.
