The number of women with successful wines in the market is growing and growing, and it seems they may know a secret. Organisers of this outstanding event believe that, "The curiosity of customers meets the style of their wines, which they prepare with feminine subtlety, sensitivity, and discreetness, but mixed with firmness and hard work envied even by men." Whatever the case, its worth going to find out as this event is a real gem in the local event schedule. Apparently it's especially worth attending if you are, or you go with, a lady, as, "Female guests will be treated to special surprises." Read on for more details about the guest country and cultural program of events.
