Using education, networking, mentorship, initiatives and training, WOTVS is making groundbreaking change across all three tiers of the beverage alcohol industry.

We've been there since the beginning

 

We are the Founding Member of Women of the Vine & Spirits (WOTVS). We saw the organization as a perfect extension of our own commitments to making changes in the industry across the entire supply chain.
