Raised amidst the vineyards of Monterey, California, and Marlborough, New Zealand, the McBride Sisters, Robin and Andréa, discovered their shared destiny in winemaking. United by a love for wine and a desire to revolutionize the industry, they founded the McBride Sisters Collection in 2005. Overcoming challenges as female leaders, they've grown to become the largest Black-owned wine company in the U.S., embodying inclusivity, sustainability, and social awareness. Their wines, including the McBride Sisters Collection and Black Girl Magic, reflect the terroirs of their upbringing, offering flavors for all palates. The McBride Sisters continue to transform the industry, fostering community through exceptional wines, exemplified by McBride Sisters Black Girl Magic Sparkling Brut—a sparkling wine celebrating joy and empowerment with its lively bubbles and sophisticated style.
