Jancis Robinson OBE will deliver a keynote address at the Australian Women in Wine 10th Birthday Gala on Saturday, 19 July 2025.

This will be Robinson’s first address to an Australian audience in more than five years. Due to Robinson’s personal commitment to lowering her carbon footprint and reducing air miles, she will appear via video link from London—however, Australian Women in Wine said that her presence, even virtually, is a “monumental” addition to this event.

“We are absolutely thrilled and honoured to have Jancis Robinson join us for this special occasion,” said Jane Thomson OAM, founder and chair of AWIW. “Her influence on the global wine industry is unparalleled, and to have her share her insights and her vision for achieving gender equality in wine is an extraordinary privilege.”

The Australian Women in Wine 10th Birthday Gala will celebrate the group’s decade of gender advocacy and progress, recognising the achievements of women in the industry. The event will also kick-off the 2025 Australian Wine Industry Technical Conference, which runs from 20 – 23 July in Adelaide.

Tickets for the gala are available here.
