Women in Wine Luncheon

Celebrating International Womens Day

Friday, 6 March – 12:30pm – 3.00pm

This International Women’s Day, Atelier by Sofitel invites you to an inspiring afternoon celebrating the women who are shaping, leading and redefining the Australian wine industry.
Holder of two Chef Hats, Atelier presents an intimate lunch bringing together exceptional food, remarkable wines and powerful conversation. Guests will enjoy a thoughtfully curated three-course menu paired with wines from one of Australia’s leading female winemakers—each pour telling a story of craftsmanship, resilience and vision.

At the heart of the experience is a dynamic panel of female wine industry leaders, sharing insights into leadership, creativity and the evolving role of women in wine.
Featuring Inge Fransen, CEO of Pommery Vranken; Amelia Birch, founder of Famelia in Newtown—Sydney’s celebrated wine bar championing wines made exclusively by women; and moderated by Samantha Payne, globe-trotting drinks communicator, sommelier and wine consultant.

More than a lunch, this is a celebration of progress, mentorship and female excellence—honouring the women who continue to challenge convention, elevate the industry and pave the way for the next generation.

Join us for an afternoon where voices are amplified, achievements are celebrated, and every glass raised supports the power of women in wine.
