Priorat Enoturisme, Spain
Have you ever looked at a successful woman working in the
alcohol beverage industry and wondered
“How did they get there?”
Our “Women to Watch” live chats will bring these role models to your screens where you will get the opportunity to hear from their experiences navigating their career paths, the insights they have gained, best practices they can share, and how they used their WSET qualifications to their advantage.
Role models and mentors are extremely important as we navigate our own career paths and it is a cornerstone of Women of the Vine & Spirits to provide access to these role models! By learning from one another and sharing of best practices and advice, we can all thrive!
Vinka Woldarsky is a wine tourism professional based in Spain. As project manager for Priorat Enoturisme, she develops and coordinates various projects that will maximize tourism and direct sales, as well as enhance the visitor experience. She has an extensive wine and tourism background, having worked for various wineries in Portugal and Spain, and as a researcher for Wines of Portugal, developing a best practice manual and a wine tourism certification course.
She holds a joint Master’s degree in Wine Tourism Innovation from the University of Bordeaux, University of Porto and the University Rovira I Virgili (Spain), has completed two harvests in Europe and has twice been a speaker at the International Organization of Vine and Wine (OIV) as a researcher. She is currently completing the WSET Diploma and a PhD in sustainable tourism, focusing on destination marketing and management in wine tourism regions.
Her experience working in various wineries in southern Europe has made her conscious of the status of women in the wine industry. In her blog post, “Women, Wine and the Uncomfortable Conversation We Need to Have”, she explores the topic of sexism by sharing her personal experiences in the wine industry. A powerful and honest piece, she hopes that by speaking out about sexism in the wine industry, microaggressions that women face, and the underrepresentation of women in wine, we can start to create a more respectful industry. She continues working towards diversity and inclusion in the wine industry by raising awareness and facilitating conversations with stakeholders in the industry.
