TRADE ONLY EVENT FROM WOMEN & REVOLUTION
WHEN: Tuesday 11 August 2026
TIME: 2.00pm-3.30pm
WHERE: Claret Club, 77 Stanley St, Darlinghurst NSW

Join us for an inspiring masterclass celebrating the wines, stories and legacies of six extraordinary Italian women leading their family estates.

Hosted by Madeleine Marson (Vinea Marson) and Zoë Ladyman (Primavera Selections), this special tasting includes the rare opportunity to experience Maria-Therese Mascarello's 2020 Barolo from Cantina Bartolo Mascarello.

As part of this collaborative event, we're encouraging Sydney's next generation of women sommeliers. If you accept a seat at the masterclass, we warmly invite you to bring along an emerging WaR sommelier who would benefit from tasting alongside you. Ideally, your guest will be from a different venue, creating opportunities to expand professional networks and share perspectives in a welcoming, low-pressure environment.

Please note this event is limited to WaR members currently in an active wine buying role.
