About this Event
Women in Wine Festival — Presented by No Wine Left Behind
On this International Women’s Day, No Wine Left Behind is making history. We’re taking over in the West Village for our first‑ever Women in Wine Festival — a full‑day celebration of women winemakers, global storytelling, and the competitive blind tasting games you already know and love.
Women winemakers are flying in from all over the world to pour their wines, share their stories, and compete (yes, compete) in our signature multiple‑choice blind tasting battles. You’ll taste, guess, vote, and help crown the festival’s winning wine.
And the stakes? Very real.
Whichever wine wins the crowd vote will officially earn a spot on Le Du’s shelves.
Your palate decides the future.

Why This Festival Matters
This is more than a tasting. It’s a platform. A celebration. A moment.
We’re spotlighting the women who grow, ferment, innovate, and redefine what wine can be — and giving New Yorkers the chance to taste their work without pretense, gatekeeping, or the usual wine‑world stiffness.
It’s International Women’s Day.
It’s No Wine Left Behind.
It’s the first festival of its kind — and you’re part of the story.
