Our Story
Women and Revolution began at a dinner party in a back yard. A group of 15 women and non-binary folk came together to share a meal, bring a bottle, and connect over a shared love of wine. The conversation naturally turned to what we loved about the wine industry, and what we felt needed to change.
​
We left feeling empowered, and inspired, and hungry for more.
​
Word spread, and the next dinner had 30 people and a waitlist of the same.
​
Numbers were swelling quickly and it was clear we'd outgrown the capacity of various homes and gardens. So we called a meeting, took over a bar and gathered to discuss where we wanted it to go, and what we wanted to be.
​
Women, non binary and trans folks from all sectors of wine, beer, distillation and hospitality turned up to offer support and contribute to the conversation.
​
Above all, we decided that we needed to carve out a space that felt safe and inclusive to all women - a supportive community working towards dismantling the systems that uphold inequality across the industries we work in.
​
We now have over 200 members and counting, around Australia.
​
Join the Revolution.
