Spier Wines - Tania Kleintjes
"Spier honors Women’s History Month with recognition of our own. This year, we launched a campaign that put the spotlight on the many women at Spier who are instrumental in driving change — from the vineyards to the boardroom. It’s inspiring to see this kind of thread of positivity woven into our farm’s vibrant storytelling." -Tania Kleintjes, Organic Winemaker
Altaland Wines - Laura Catena
"My Italian great grandfather Nicola Catena planted our family’s first Malbec vines in 1902. Our winery has helped elevate the reputation of Argentine wine by helping the economy and farming sustainably. We have made a positive influence on our staff, the people of Mendoza, and our beloved consumers." -Laura Catena, Fourth Generation Argentine Vinter & Managing Director
Donnachiara - Ilaria Petitto
"Donnachiara is a winery founded by my mother, managed by myself, dedicated to my great grandmother, so our DNA is female. We continue to employ young women as well. Women are always central in the care of the vineyard, and this is the best way to continue to pass on this tradition." -Ilaria Petitto, CEO & Wine Producer
Smith Bench - Aly Wente
"We are a women-led organization, currently managed by the fourth and fifth generations of the Wente Family. We support many different organizations that support equity and inclusion. Every industry is stronger when diverse cultures and backgrounds are represented in leadership positions of companies big and small, and the alcohol industry is no exception." -Aly Wente, VP, Marketing & Customer Experience

El Padrino - Celia Maestri
"From a young age, I was surrounded by the sights, sounds, and aromas of my parents' distillery in Mexico. Growing up immersed in this environment, I developed a deep appreciation and passion for the art of distillation. It is not just a career for me; it is a part of who I am. Not only are we women-owned, but 85% of all our employees at our Tequila distillery are women!" -Celia Maestri, Founder
Still Austin - Nancy Fraley
