Why This Initiative?

The wine industry, rich in heritage and tradition, has often seen uneven opportunities for women, particularly in higher education and leadership roles. By offering scholarships specifically for women, we aim to:

Bridge the Gender Gap

Increase female representation in all areas of the industry, from viticulture to wine business management.

Foster Professional Growth

Equip women with the knowledge and credentials needed to advance their careers.

Build a Supportive Community

Connect recipients with mentors and industry leaders, fostering a network that supports ongoing professional development and innovation.
