Canberra Fabulous Ladies Wine Soiree with Dandelion Vineyards

Canberra, we're back with your next Fab Ladies Wine event this July! Join us for a totally fabulous evening with the 2022 McLaren Vale Winemaker of the Year, Elena Brooks, founder and winemaker of Dandelion Vineyard wines.

Elena's story is quite incredible. As a young girl in Bulgaria, Elena’s mother worked in a winery. The demise of the Soviet Republic opened the door to an influx of westerners interested in the age-old history of wine making in these former states. Many Australians visited and stayed at the winery and as the only one able to speak English, Elena started helping translate after school. By the age of 12, she was interpreting barrel tastings with the winemakers. By the age of 15, she had the wine knowledge and vocabulary of a veteran, and by 16 she was making her first batches of Chardonnay!

After study she ventured and worked in many amazing wine regions of the world, and has now settled with her husband and two children in McLaren Vale. With the myriad of award winning wines she now makes under Dandelion Vineyards, Elena is recognised as one of Australia’s brightest stars.

Elena will be hosting us - sharing her story and her wines - for this glorious dinner for our Canberra members and friends!

We’ve secured exclusive use of Les Bistronomes for this one and the chef is preparing an incredible French style menu to match Elena's award winning wines.

We hope you can join us!

WHAT ARE THE FABULOUS LADIES' WINE SOCIETY EVENTS ABOUT? This is all about bringing together women who love wine and introducing you to women who produce wine! Over an evening of wining, dining, learning and laughing. Most importantly, as a wine drinker and buyer, you are given the chance to directly support the women who make it. 

WANT TO COME WITH FRIENDS? Great! You can book separately, or together, and we'll make sure you're seated together on the night.

THINKING OF COMING ON YOUR OWN? That's no problem either! Lots of people do. And we'll seat you with some fabulous wine loving women who'll quickly become new friends.
