Our mission is to elevate the work of women in the world of wine

Why women?

It’s time to tell their stories and drink their wines. Women have been producing enchanting wines throughout the ages, but so many of their stories have yet to be told. Men have run the world of wine for centuries. We elevate women by sharing their wines and their stories.

Why wine?

It brings us together in times of joy and sorrow. Wine is a mysterious elixir that for centuries has given us pleasure and eased our vexations. It is present at grand dinners as well as simple, solitary meals. It connects us with both nature and hedonism.

Why sustainability?

The most vibrant, alive and exciting wines are grown in living soil; soil that is part of a thriving and interconnected system of life. Taking care of the soil is essential so that it can keep giving us these marvelous wines.

Why Fun?

What better way to celebrate great food, great moments and great friends than with wine? Wine doesn’t have to be pompous and fussy; its sole purpose is our pleasure and enjoyment. Let’s replace the stodgy and inscrutable parts of wine with fun!

Of course, we’re going to source and select delicious wines for you and bring them to you from earth to glass, but that’s not why you should join our movement. Join us because you believe in women, you believe in wine, you believe in sustainability.

Let’s have some fun together! We want you to connect with these women winegrowers through their wines (and you can come visit them with me if you want!).
