THE WINERY
Organic ∞ Sustainable ∞ Local
Free Range Flower Winery is an award-winning, winemaker-owned and -operated, urban winery located in Oakland, California, that handcrafts premium flower wine in small batches from locally sourced, organically grown flowers -- not grapes.
Founder and DIY winemaker, Aaliyah Nitoto, launched her "innovative" (Wine Enthusiast) winemaking venture after attending the San Francisco Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center's program in 2015 and winning their "Best Idea" Award for her business plan.
In the fall of 2019, Aaliyah joined Main Street Launch's Entrepreneur-in-Residence business-accelerator program, where she further developed her skills to streamline the winery's day-to-day operations.
Recently, she received a highly competitive Ladies Who Launch grant, which is helping the winery pivot to meet customer needs during these challenging times for small businesses.
Drawing from her background in biology, herbalism, and nutrition education, Aaliyah combines her knowledge of flowers and plants, taste profiles, and science into the art of flower winemaking.
Her process updates ancient women's garden winemaking traditions for 21st century tastes.
Dedicated to sustainable practices that yield world-class wine and build community, Free Range Flower Winery welcomes partnerships with local farmers, makers, artists, mixologists, event planners, and community-minded organizations.
