Our mission is to empower and support female winemakers and culinarians by fostering a community that champions their craft, creativity, and leadership. We are dedicated to advancing their voices in the culinary and wine industries, while actively promoting education, mentorship, and collaboration. 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.
Bold, playful, and full of spirit — Sips & SHE-Nanigans is an evening where laughter flows as easily as the wine. Part tasting, part party, this event brings together incredible women of wine and food for a night of connection, storytelling, and unforgettable fun — all in support of WWCF’s mission.
Each year, the Women Winemakers & Culinarians Foundation is honored to host fundraising events to help support a deserving organization in our community. We look to help local non-profits where our contribution can make a significant impact to their mission. Our 2026 beneficiary will be announced soon!
From vineyard gatherings to culinary showcases, our events celebrate community, connection, and the incredible women at the heart of wine and food in Santa Barbara County. Join us to raise a glass, share a meal, and support the mission of WWCF.
