Join a community of women and LGBTQ+ people who enjoy learning about wine.
InWine, formerly Women In Wine, is a group of people from marginalized gender experiences in Richmond, Virginia. We drink and talk and learn (some things) about wine. The wines we taste emphasize low-intervention, socially conscious practices, and environmentally sustainable production.
Each monthly event theme changes with a focus on wine and breaking down barriers of the wine world. Events cater to women and LGBTQ+ people, but are sometimes open to cis straight men if indicated. We also partner with the community to host partner events throughout the month. Learn about the events in the details below!
