Today is International Women's Day and it is an opportunity for us to pause and reflect on the progress we've made and the work that still lies ahead.   This year's theme for IWD is: "Count Her In. Invest in Her. Accelerate Progress.” We are acutely aware that our own business has work to do and we’re committed to doing everything we need to do to make lasting change.   Joval Group’s Diversity & Wellbeing Committee have put together a short, inspirational video featuring insights and advice from some amazing people within our company. We are very proud to be working with so many talented and inspiring women at all levels.   Happy International Women’s Day.

On the 17th of November, Australian Women in Wine hosted their first AWIW symposium in Sydney, proudly sponsored by Plumm. The theme of the day was “Leadership & Ambition: Exploring the challenges women face pursuing a career in the Australian wine industry and how to advance them to positions of power for the betterment of the industry.”     As part of the day, delegates discussed, put forward and then voted on the top actions to improve gender equality.  The results are, in order of priority:    - An industry-wide strategy with accountability measures in place  - Funding for AWIW and/or a full-time Diversity, Equality and Inclusion position  - Mentoring program available in every wine region    It was an honour for several of our female leaders to be involved in the event, to listen and take part in conversations with some of Australia’s most influential women in wine from all sectors of the industry.    Joval Group is proud to be contributing and working towards the advancement of gender equality within the whole industry.  Photography by Dan Gosse.  

Throughout August and September, our collaborative portfolio showcase events, in partnership with red+white and Mezzanine The Fine Wine Specialist, journeyed across the country, uniting 78 of the world's foremost fine wine brands with over 1,200 trade customers. These events proved to be invaluable, not only for our wineries but also for our teams and, most importantly, our existing and prospective customers. They provided a platform for our wineries to connect, share their captivating stories, and deepen their relationships with each other and with the wine enthusiasts who appreciate and have learnt about their craft. With a remarkable collection of 350 wines totalling 3,500 bottles, these events celebrated the ever-evolving, contemporary fine wine offerings that both red+white and Mezzanine The Fine Wine Specialist bring to the Australian trade. We're proud to have played a role in showcasing the finest wines from around the world, and we look forward to continuing our mission of bringing people together with wine! 🥂🌍 #JovalWines #FineWineShowcase #Webringpeopletogetherwithwine
