Virginia’s wine history is full of trailblazing women who fought for critical legislation, became world- renowned experts in viticulture, pushed for AVA status, and led the way in creating high quality wines and wine venues that have made wine tourism an economic driver for the state’s economy.
Each year, Virginia Women in Wine will honor these women with the VWW Trailblazer Award, showcasing what each of these leaders has made possible, encouraging the next generation to follow in their footsteps, and permanently honoring their legacy.
