Good Wine Gals Mingle at the Women in Wine Expo 2024 in Porto, Portugal. Here's what happened.

In the heart of iconic, picturesque and historic Porto, 97 women from 27 countries gathered for two full days to explore women-led initiatives in wine, on topics from old vines to new grapes, reducing carbon emissions to sustainable solutions.
