From the Heart of Decatur to the Vineyards of Georgia.

My name is Neil Sneider, the visionary behind Casa Loma Wines. My journey into the world of wine began with a simple idea: to create a wine flight party that celebrates the intersection of R&B music, community, and great wine.

From July 2023 to March 2024, I hosted and produced a series of exclusive wine parties called "About Last Night." Held on Sundays in Atlanta, these events were more than just gatherings—they were a proof of concept and a testament to my and my partner's commitment to building a multicultural wine community in Atlanta.

After feeling undervalued by one of the event sponsors, I embarked on a six-month quest to create a wine brand. I explored and tasted wines from multiple vineyards across North Georgia, eventually building a strong relationship with the head winemaker at an award-winning vineyard who shared and believed in my vision.

Ninety miles north of Atlanta, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, our vineyard spans 30 acres by a peaceful lake, cultivating a diverse array of grapes, including Chardonnay, Seyval Blanc, Vidal Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chambourcin, and newly planted Traminette, Aromella, and Chardonel.

Named after the street I grew up on in Decatur, GA, I’m proud to introduce Casa Loma Wines—a 100% Black-owned wine brand. Each bottle captures the essence of beloved R&B classics, and with every sip, you’re not only indulging in premium wines but also celebrating the music, community, and culture that inspire us.
