WINeFare: Women in Natural Wine Festival 2025 is an annual event organized by The Vinguard, a nonprofit focused on promoting ecological farming, equity, and empowerment in the natural wine industry. Founded in 2018 by Pamela Busch, a long-time advocate for women in the wine industry, WINeFare celebrates women winemakers, importers, and professionals in the natural wine movement. The festival highlights natural wines—produced with minimal intervention, organic or biodynamic farming, and often by small-scale producers—while amplifying women’s contributions to this space.
