ABV BROOKLYN 2026

A buzzing day, blessed by a bountiful ferments family. Knowledge sharing, culture shaping, barrier breaking, wine flowing, teeth showing smiles; Here is a look inside this summer’s summit in New York.

A special thank you to our community and vast network for producers. WE LOVE YOU ♥️

Thank you to all who came through to support this project and open your palettes to the world of non-vinifera. We are here to uplift the world of regional wines, to encourage you all to drink locally. ABV lives beyond the summit, and we hope you continue to engage with these ferments in the context of your own lives.

Stay tuned for a week of recap… taken in Bin Bin Sake by @abvferments

FORMAT, a Brooklyn Wine Festival. Sunday 8/9

Oh, you thought wine fair season was over? We’ve only just begun!

Educator, experience host, winemaker, and good friend @enology.prjts is introducing a new festival called Format, with special appearances from NY producers you may already know from ABV, and many more. See you there, this Sunday @honeysbrooklyn . USE CODE standardformats FOR A LITTLE LOVE ON TICKETS. (Tickets in bio)

ABOUT:
“FORMAT is a first of its kind wine fest in NYC, bringing wines from around the world and New York State to BUSHWICK. Taste these wines to the backdrop of NYC on the _Honey’s_* rooftop and within the walls of the Honey’s winery while the hottest DJ’s NY has to offer keep the vibes up, Oh Boy. serves up the best smashed burgers around, various vendors provide treats for gifting and for sale, tattoos by Doodle.bby and much more.....*
Think of this as a party, where first you try a bunch of wines.” taken in Brooklyn, New York by @abvferments

ABV SUMMIT

This year’s ABV summit is exactly what I mean when I say LIVING THE DREAM.

For many of us who participated, there is a shared sentiment that this community prolongs our passions and provides a platform for us to share knowledge, opens a space that is inclusive to all wine curious people, and reinforces the feeling that our work MATTERS.

I have admired ABV from afar, and this year I had the honor of being recruited into a talented and determined family. Cheers to a future of obscure ferments, shared resources, and working with what we got. Earth is abundant, and so are we! taken in Brooklyn, New York by @abvferments

We went to the Ferments Summit hosted by @abvferments on Monday at @bin.bin.sake !

Hands down the most fun (and tipsiest 😂) event you could attend this summer. Nearly 40 incredible makers and fermenters, hundreds of fermented drinks and products to taste, and so many passionate people in one room.

We felt like little mice that had fallen into a grain barrel 🤣🐭🍚—sampling wines, ciders, and meads from different brands and regions, hearing the stories behind each bottle, and chatting with the owners and makers.

We left feeling so inspired and so grateful that this amazing fermentation community exist.❤️

Can’t wait for the next year’s summit! 🍷✨ taken in Brooklyn, New York by @abvferments

1. 🍒baco noir, a red v. riparia x folle blanche French-American hybrid bred for phylloxera and mildew resistance in Atlantic France at the end of the 19th century was, in 1956, the most planted variety in the Loire

2. 🌱 catawba, a wild v. labrusca x sémillon cross found wild in the woods outside of Asheville, NC at the beginning of the 1800s, was, by 1860, the most-planted wine grape in the U.S., with terraced slopes in the hills outside of Cincinnati farmed by migrants from the Rhineland, most of them women, and champagne method bottles of catawba aging in caves under the streets of downtown St. Louis

3. 👾 does it have enough fermentable sugars and acidity to keep the ferment straight? apples, plums, pears, blueberries...

i wrote about [ABV] for my MBA scholarship application. it has changed my life; made it better, challenged me, forced reflection and growth.

what started as an attempt to draw more Black producers into the fold thru resource sharing and to champion ancestral techniques has taken on a life of it’s own. anyone that knows me personally knows that this is my life’s work, and i will continue pushing in any and all spaces for true sustainability.

in it’s current iteration, [ABV] is a safer space for the oddballs of the industry. melanated. queer. sustainability-obsessed. all of us together for a day of love and joy. we keep the summit as a non-profit mission driven event, because community really is the deliverable.

thank you to the dozens of volunteers that show up every year. shout out to this years organizers @mandarooney @patio.pounder @samm_hewitt who have put in work to make it nice for year 5 and @julitapplebum forever holding it down on the tech!! we have a whole team, yall.

thank you, thank you, thank you ❤️🌻 by @abvferments
