Join Antonia and Lynda as they honor some of the most inspirational and talented women in wine.

International Women’s Day is a is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. We want to recognize and acknowledge the female pioneers in the wine industry. These trailblazing women have led the way in a predominately male industry; from Rosa Kruger, founder of the Old Vine Project in South Africa, to Louisa Rose, Yalumba’s chief winemaker since 1992, to Master of Wine, Roisin Curley, an Irish pharmacist turned winemaker who took on Burgundy.
