Chef Mimi · Founder & Curator
Now, in 2027, we celebrate our 10th Anniversary with BLOOM — a tribute to growth, beauty, collaboration, and possibility.
BLOOM represents the next chapter of the Black Food & Wine Experience: a luxury cultural platform where communities come together, businesses thrive, stories are celebrated, and every guest is invited to experience Napa Valley in a way that is welcoming, elevated, and unforgettable.
Because when people gather around a table...
Ideas grow.
Businesses grow.
Communities grow.
Friendships grow.
Legacies grow.
And together, we Bloom.

A Message from Chef Mimi
"In 2026, we planted seeds in Napa Valley. We planted seeds of partnership, friendship, collaboration, and trust. We learned from one another, celebrated together, and witnessed the incredible possibilities that emerge when a community comes together around a shared vision.
Today, those seeds have begun to bloom.
BLOOM is more than our 10th Anniversary theme—it is a reflection of every guest who traveled to be with us, every winery that opened its doors, every restaurant that welcomed our community, every volunteer, every chef, every winemaker, every sponsor, every entrepreneur, and every partner who believed in what we could build together.
This celebration belongs to all of us.
Whether you're joining us from across town, across the country, or across the world, we invite you to experience Napa Valley through a new lens—one where culture, luxury, community, and hospitality flourish together.
Come Bloom With Us.
