CoCo Noir Wine Shop & Bar is a woman and minority-owned urban Wine Shop, eatery, Tasting Room, Event Space, and Online Store opening in Fall 2022 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 winemakers. Our wines are hand selected by the founder, curated specifically to our customer's needs, and available to enjoy on-site. We view the customers’ shopping and tasting experiences as paramount. Our in-store 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.
The BAMBD was created in 2016 and the organization with the same name was established to create, In the tradition of the Black Arts Movement, a Black culture-driven space dedicated to the growth, cultivation, and sustaining of Black livity, (good strong life.) The organization's (BAMBD, CDC) purpose is to advocate, organize, create, develop, implement, foster, and ensure the thriving of BAMBD, Oakland, CA through vigilant organizing, development of infrastructure, and the creation of mechanisms for stewardship and advocacy.

More reasons we love our location in the Atlas building:
We believe CoCo Noir will be the go place for great wine and bites for indoor and outdoor dining as well as private events. We are currently working on transforming the raw space into our vision of an upscale comfortable gathering place for our community to learn about and enjoy wine.
Update! Since signing our lease in the summer of 2021, the once raw space is now 80% completed – see attached
