Celebrating Women in Wine

International Women’s Day at Bone Dry Wines

International Women’s Day is a time to recognise leadership, progress, and the women shaping industries worldwide. At Bone Dry Wines, it’s our chance to celebrate the women behind our brand — and across the wine community — who are redefining modern winemaking.

Recognising Women in Wine

Traditionally male-dominated, the wine industry is evolving. Today, women lead vineyards, drive production, head operations, champion sustainability, and shape the future of Australian wine. From growers and winemakers to lab technicians, creatives, and business leaders, women contribute at every stage, bringing expertise, innovation, and fresh perspective.

“I’ve learned the importance of backing yourself. The wine industry was traditionally quite male-dominated, but it’s changing quickly and there are so many talented women helping shape its future. I’ve realised that bringing your own perspective, ideas and confidence to the table is valuable, and that diversity ultimately makes the industry stronger.”
- Emily Bampton, General Manager 

What Drives Us

What drives our team is the diversity of the wine industry — a unique blend of creativity, science, viticulture, and business. Being involved from vineyard to bottle, and seeing something tangible end up in someone’s glass shared with friends or family, is incredibly rewarding.

“The most powerful thing about working in this industry is seeing how collaboration drives real impact. Every step, from vineyard decisions to brand storytelling - is stronger when diverse voices shape the process. When women support women, we don’t just contribute - we redefine what’s possible.”
- Grace Swift, Marketing Manager

Behind The Scenes

Working at Bone Dry Wines is meaningful because it’s such a collaborative, hands-on environment. Everyone plays a role in bringing wines to life, and there’s pride in creating wines that people genuinely enjoy. Seeing a wine or brand come together from concept through to launch is a highlight for any team member — all the planning, production, and packaging culminates in something that connects with people.

Advocacy for Women in the Wine Industry

For those entering the wine world, the advice is simple: stay curious, ask questions, build relationships, and trust your instincts. Don’t be afraid to take up space — your voice and perspective matter. The growing community of women supporting each other is helping shape a stronger, more diverse industry.

Our Commitment

Excellence isn’t accidental — it’s built through dedication, discipline, and the courage to do things differently.

At Bone Dry, we proudly champion women every day, celebrating their leadership, vision, and impact on our brand and the wider wine community.
