DiVINes! Swiss trade fair for female winemakers
DiVINes! is the only trade fair that brings together the elite of Swiss wine every year in the prestigious setting of Rolle Castle on the shores of Lake Geneva, between Lausanne and Geneva. The fair offers exclusive encounters with Swiss wine industry professionals, as well as tasting workshops. Whether they are wine merchants, winemakers or oenologists, more and more women in Switzerland are choosing the world of wine out of love for the profession or family ties. Passionate and committed, they work with different terroirs and vinify numerous grape varieties to produce sustainable wines that resemble them and are made with respect for the environment.
