Hawke's Bay Women in Wine Prize
Hawke’s Bay Women in Wine Prize – EIT Bachelor of Viticulture and Wine Science Top Female Student
Women in Wine NZ helps women reach their full potential, step up into leadership roles and encourages businesses within the industry to assess their diversity and inclusion culture.
CONNECT. INFORM. CHANGE
The programme was originally founded in 2017 after no women put themselves forward for the NZ Winegrower’s Board Elections. The New Zealand wine industry supports and encourages diversity, and there are many women working in the industry in all roles and at all levels – and we realised this needed attention.
This prize is to reward excellent performance in achieving the EIT Bachelor of Viticulture and Wine Science.
