Casual & Welcoming
Wine Not wednesdays
Wine Not Wednesday is about growing our businesses, connecting with other humans, learning, and having fun along the way. We share stories and foster genuine relationships that fuel both personal and professional growth.
The wine is optional, the vibe casual & connections authentic.

THE POWER OF HER
How one woman can change hundreds of lives — and why we need each other to succeed.
A candid Wine Not Wednesday conversation with Dorothy Briggs, Founder of Womanition
Bring your business bestie. Celebrate the people who have opened doors for you, cheered you on, challenged you, referred you, mentored you — or simply believed in you when you needed it most.

The story behind Wine Not Wednesday
Wine Not Wednesday began as a simple virtual event to help a few of us to stay connected during the winter months. We have certainly enjoyed some thought provoking conversations and shared some insightful learning along the way.
Read more about Wine Not Wednesday's origin.
In 2025, we made the decision to expand to include our in-person events. Ticket sales are capped, intentionally, so if you are seeking a smaller, more intimate opportunity to build connections, this is it.
