The Museum of the African Diaspora brings an unforgettable evening to the St. Regis San Francisco — Diaspora Dinner: Sips & Soul, an intimate culinary gathering where Southern and Gullah Geechee foodways, exceptional wine, and the stories that connect generations all come together at one table.
Chef Amethyst Ganaway — food historian, chef, and writer with deep roots in African American and Gullah Geechee culinary tradition — curates a menu where every dish carries memory, land, and legacy. Sommelier and storyteller Cha McCoy leads global wine pairings that challenge convention and celebrate the full spectrum of African and diasporic wine culture, with wines featured in partnership with the Association of African American Vintners. Moderating the evening’s conversation is Gabrielle Davenport, co-founder of BEM | Books & More — the first bookstore dedicated to Black food literature — guiding an intimate dialogue on culture, storytelling, and the power of food as memory.
Expect interactive tastings, conversation prompts, and unexpected moments of connection around food, migration, and joy. Space is limited and this is a ticketed event — reserve your seat now.
