Our wines are made by award winning winemakers who are bought into our mission and we would love to share them with you for your gift guide. Equality Vines sells at retail, in our tasting room in Guerneville, CA and online nationwide. Every bottle of wine we sell gives back to equality causes.
We currently have two pillars of Equality that we focus on — The LGBTQ Love Wins series and the Suffrage series. The Love Wins series features three wines, two sparkling and a Pinot, with more to come and dollars being given back to the LGBTQ community.
Under the Suffrage series, we have launched a label called the 19th Amendment and have partnered with the League of Women Voters with $2 of every bottle sold going back to the League. In fact, Jim Obergefell, the named plaintiff if the landmark Supreme Court marriage equality case and the president of the League will be pouring at the tasting room on November 18th.
