The Future of Hospitality

We’re inspired by the passionate bartenders who are breaking down barriers and paving the way for others with respect to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Changing the face of our industry so it reflects the incredible diversity the world has to offer is the key to success.

Although most American’s consider themselves socially conscious consumers, the reality is that many minority- and women-owned brands lack visibility. Enterprising women who have entered the wine and spirits industry as owners, managers, distillers, spirits-makers, and the like, continue to need a voice. Celebrating diversity is just one step in collectively acting for change to create a strong and inclusive industry for generations to come.

The women featured in this issue’s Special Section: The Spirit of Inclusion highlights Women of the Vine & Spirits and its Women Powered Brands, including women behind the brands and bars who are bringing their A-game. Prepare to be inspired!
