Forum meetings

Participation in WINE WOMEN Forums is a benefit of being a member. If a Forum has openings, interested non-members may attend up to two meetings to learn more about it. To become a full-time participant, they then must become a WINE WOMEN member.

WINE WOMEN members may join as many Forums as they wish.

Forum members plan their own agendas, meeting dates and times for the year. They may bring in speakers to educate them on a specific topic, or have an open discussion of current ‘hot’ topics. On average, 10 to 20 women show up for each Forum meeting.

Forums meet at different member locations in Napa and Sonoma. 

Forums may have different meeting attendance requirements. Most Forums are open to new membership. Some Forums have locked in group size, opening their group to new members when an existing member leaves the group. Please check each individual Forum’s page and contact a Forum chair with any questions.

How to join

Contact the Forums Director to let her know which Forum(s) you are interested in joining. She will check with the Forum Chair on availability. If there are openings, you will be invited to attend the next meeting.

Don't see a Forum in your professional field?

Start a new one! It’s relatively easy. All you need to do is:

  • Be a Wine Women member.
  • Identify at least 5 other individuals in the same profession or topic interest as you. If they are not members, they can attend two Forum meetings before they become a member.
  • Contact the Forums Director to inform her you want to start a Forum. She will assist you in planning, scheduling, and facilitating the first meeting.

We look forward to hearing about your ideas!
