About the Event

Who refined an ancient elixir and shared it around the globe? Who added elegance to celebration and effervesced the whole world? Who harvested the grapes above by night while they nursed their wounded underground?

A most unlikely set of heroines brightened the days of strangers and spread their cheer through vines that connect us all, Burgundy to Napa. Widow after widow, they elevated joyous occasions with their inventions and acumen. Following in the wake of Veuve Clicquot’s enormous success, their contributions have remained unsung.

Here’s to the sparkling widows of Champagne!
