Venus Vinifera provides education on the lands of the Ngunnawal, Ngunawal and Ngambri people, whose land and sovereignty was never ceded.

We acknowledge these Traditional Custodians and pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging, of the lands on which we work and live. We further acknowledge and pay respect to the Traditional Custodians of the lands upon which the beverages that we learn about were grown, made, packed and shipped.

We recognise that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples hold knowledge about connection to country - land, sky and water - that has been practised for thousands of generations. Their cultures and customs have nurtured, and continue to nurture this land. We recognise the deep debt we are in to the Traditional Custodians of this country.

Join us for three panels with industry professionals over Saturday 14th of September. There are three conversations taking place:
Women in Beverage
Women in Business
Women for Inclusivity and Safety

Hospitality has always been a male dominated industry especially in the beverage and owner spectrum. We are so excited to bring together multiple women who have broken down the walls and are helping path the way for the next generation of the industry. We aim for all attendees to be inspired and excited by the conversation and to have the opportunity to learn from these legends. We are super humbled to announce the first drop of speakers, with the next to be announced in coming weeks.
