Recognize, Raise Up, Give Back.
Every vintage tells a story, and so does every woman behind the wine. Our winemakers are visionaries who blend science, artistry, and stewardship of the land to craft bottles that embody their spirit and dedication. By lifting up their voices, we celebrate the resilience and creativity that make their wines unforgettable.
Each year, we honor the often-unsung women whose work makes winemakers and chefs shine. From sous chefs and assistant winemakers to viticulturists, retail leaders, and owners, these behind-the-spotlight heroes are celebrated for their talent, dedication, and essential role in shaping the world of wine and food.
Discover the women shaping the culinary landscape of Santa Barbara County. From kitchens to farms to food innovation, our culinarians bring creativity, heritage, and passion to every plate — and inspire the next generation to do the same.
The Grand Tasting is our showcase celebration – a vibrant gathering of women winemakers and culinarians who are redefining excellence in wine and food. Guests are invited to sip, savor, and discover an unforgettable lineup of flavors while supporting the future of women in the industry.
Get your sparkle on with your best fancy dress and snazzy cowboy boots as you hit the red carpet! Mosey up to the bar for complimentary wine and cocktails, and then sit down to a four-course meal, paired with wines from the Santa Barbara County Women Winemakers.
