Journey Around the World of Women Winemakers

Despite significant progress in various industries, women continue to face unique challenges in their careers, including breaking through traditional barriers and gaining recognition for their achievements. This event provided a great networking platform to celebrate and empower women leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals across diverse fields.

The gathering brought together an inspirational mix of individuals, including company CEOs, a former Olympic medalist, and other high-achieving professionals.
