About Us
Our goal is to showcase the amazing women winemakers and changemakers behind some of the award-winning wines and wineries in Napa Valley.
Wine is more than what is poured into a glass. It is an expression of values and experiences. It is a link between past and present. It is a deeply rooted articulation of place, enhanced by the mastery of process and passion of the people who farm the fruit, enhance its qualities, and share the results with the world.
