Los Angeles in fall isn’t that different than Los Angeles in summer: Other than a few more leaves on the ground and an earlier and earlier sundown, you can still eat dinner and watch a movie outside on a rooftop, go stargazing at night, or hit Centerfield Plaza before a Dodgers game.

Celebrate Women's History Month in Atlanta.

3 Parks Wine Shop

If you ask Sarah Pierre, owner of <a href="https://3parkswine.com/" target="_blank">3 Parks Wine Shop</a>, being a woman business owner in Atlanta is awesome. But there was a time where she didn't really put a lot of thought into it. “But now it's like, no, that's a big deal,” she says. “It’s a big deal to be a woman business owner. It's a big deal to be a minority business owner.”&nbsp;

In the past few years, Pierre has noticed a shift in the Atlanta landscape where women business owners are making their presence more known. And a lot of women entrepreneurs in Atlanta are working together to shine the spotlight on one another. “I get messages all the time from other women business owners and we bounce ideas off of each other frequently,” she says, noting she gets particular inspiration from the group <a href="https://www.today.com/food/meet-networking-group-helping-women-owned-restaurants-succeed-t210521" target="_blank">Let’s Talk Womxn</a> started by Chicago restaurateur Rohini Dey. “That’s what I try to do as much as possible is try to bring as many people into these support networks.”&nbsp;

So let’s toast to these women-owned businesses for Women’s History Month. From wine shops to bakeries to farms, here are 20 women-owned businesses to support in Atlanta.
