CoCo Noir Wine Shop & Bar is a woman and minority-owned urban wine shop, eatery, and online store opening Fall 2021 in downtown Oakland, CA. We are bringing equity and diversity to the wine industry by being the first shop to focus on women and BIPOC producers. Our wines are hand selected by the founder, curated specifically to our customer's needs, and available to enjoy onsite as well as retail. We view the customers’ shopping and tasting experiences as paramount. Our shop and online store are built to reflect the expectations of our clientele

We cannot wait to welcome you to our space and community!

Our space is located in the heart of the Oakland Black Arts Movement Business District (BAMBD) in the ground floor of the Atlas building. We believe this beautiful corner location is a perfect fit for Coco Noir providing opportunity and support as we grow
