The Women in Wine in Lebanon have received recognition for their outstanding work, and we want to take a moment to celebrate their successes.

Lebanon’s wine history dates back thousands of years, and women have played an integral role in the industry since its inception. In ancient times, women were the primary winemakers and caretakers of the vineyards. This tradition has continued through the ages, with Lebanese women today continuing to make their mark on the industry in various capacities, from winemakers to sommeliers and everything in between.

It is inspiring to see these women breaking down barriers and making their voices heard in a historically male-dominated field. Their contributions have undoubtedly helped shape the Lebanese wine industry into the thriving and innovative industry it is today.

 

Today, women are making an even greater impact, with many taking on leadership roles and making groundbreaking contributions to the industry.

They bring their unique talents and perspectives to the field, which adds to the diversity and creativity of the industry.

At 209, we believe in empowering women in the Lebanese wine industry. We understand the importance of gender equality in the industry and support women by promoting their work and creating opportunities for them to succeed. Our commitment was also highlighted in our Women’s Day event, which we recently hosted on March 7th at BossaNova Hotel.

 

The event was a celebration of the women in the Lebanese wine industry who are making a difference in the field. We invited female winemakers, sommeliers, owners, managers to showcase their wines to our guests, and it was a tremendous success.
