Enthralled by the wine world from a young age, Otting worked her first vintage while in high school and was inspired to enrol in Niagara College’s winery and viticulture program. Following vintages in South Australia and Tasmania, she returned to Ontario and was hired by Tawse Winery as a lab analyst before joining the winemaking team. She’s since taken up the mantle as head winemaker for Tawse and Redstone.

In 2007, Andrea Mullineux established what has become one of the most highly regarded wineries in the Swartland region of South Africa. Committed to sustainable farming, old vines and minimalist winemaking, Mullineux Winery has been named South African Winery of the Year an incredible five times by Platter’s Wine Guide.

A third-generation wine grower born and raised in the Rhône Valley of France, Bonnet studied business and agriculture before taking up winemaking professionally. The vineyards she oversees are certified for High Environ­mental Value sustainable agriculture, and her wines feature bottles and labels made from recycled materials.

After studying oenology at the University of Tarragona in Spain, Casas joined Parés Baltà, a family winery in the Penedès region whose legacy stretches back to 1790. Her arrival sparked a revolution, with the vineyards converting to organic and biodynamic certification in the span of a decade.

It all started with two sisters ⏤ Katie Fielding and Andrea Grand ⏤ who grew up in a family that loved celebrating. But when Fielding switched to zero-alcohol drinks, she realized they were missing a certain sparkle. So, the sisters decided to make their own. Barbet is a bold, elevated sparkling water that is ready to celebrate. And 1% of every Barbet purchase is donated to charities like Good to be Good, which provides peer support for underserved women and gender-diverse people.

Born from a dream under a willow tree, willöe gin is the vision of Montreal’s Jordann Glasberg — a creator determined to give women a rightful place at the bar in an industry long dominated by men. With a smooth, contemporary profile and delicate notes of hibiscus and blackberry, willöe invites connection and conversation in every pour. Its name is a tribute to the willow tree of Glasberg’s childhood, where moments spent imagining the future would one day blossom into a gin that celebrates creativity, community, and the power of women’s voices in spirit.
