We love Oakland. As a small business that just celebrated our 8th year, we can attest that this year has been particularly challenging. There’s been a lot of negative press about our city, news of beloved businesses closing, and countless stories on social media about the impact of crime. But there’s so much to love about this city, and so many independent businesses that really need support right now.

In this spirit, we’re holding an Oakland Positivity Party on Sunday from 1-3pm that is really a Call to Action: our goal is to gather together and write posts for social media that cast a positive light on Oakland. Let’s flood Nextdoor and X with positivity about good experiences in Oakland, or post on Facebook or Instagram about your favorite places to drink, dine, or shop locally. Share your favorite destinations among our beautiful parks and neighborhoods; give a shout-out to a recent discovery or a long-standing establishment that makes you love living here. Not on social media? Write a letter to the editor of the SF Chronicle.

Bring your own device. We’ll provide the free snacks! We’ll have our usual weekend tasting flight available, as well as wines by the glass and non-alcoholic beverage options.
