2026 Shades of Vino Spring Collection has arrived to delight you!

It's Time To Bloom!

Each spring, Shades of Vino turns its focus to one of the most inspiring movements in the wine world - the women shaping it. This year marks our 5th annual Women in Wine collection, a celebration of the founders, growers, winemakers, and innovators whose work continues to expand opportunity and representation throughout the industry.

The theme for our Spring 2026 collection, “Empowered Women, Empowering Women,” reflects something deeply rooted in the culture of wine itself: mentorship, collaboration, and shared growth. While every vineyard has its own soil, climate, and story, the most enduring vines thrive through care, patience, and connection. In much the same way, the women in this collection represent a network of knowledge, support, and inspiration, helping one another build stronger foundations and deeper roots in a historically male-dominated industry.

Each producer in this collection brings a unique perspective shaped by culture, geography, and personal journey. Some were born into winemaking families and now carry forward generations of tradition. Others arrived in wine through entirely different paths - science, hospitality, agriculture, or entrepreneurship - carving out their own place in the vineyard and cellar. Yet together they share a common purpose: crafting wines that reflect both their heritage and their vision for the future.

Across the world, these wines highlight the diversity of voices now shaping the global wine landscape. From coastal Albariño and refreshing Mediterranean whites to expressive Finger Lakes reds, vibrant rosés, and structured Napa Valley bottlings, each wine brings its own personality while contributing to a larger story about resilience, creativity, and community.

Producers like Fiona Mak of SMAK Wines demonstrate how global perspective and cultural roots can bring new energy to traditional winemaking. Aamira Garba of LoveLee Wines blends family inspiration with bold creativity, crafting wines that celebrate heritage and personal expression. In Virginia, projects emerging from Commonwealth Crush, such as Novella Wines, showcase the innovative spirit of collaborative winemaking and regional exploration. Meanwhile, internationally recognized voices like Carol Shelton, one of California’s most respected pioneers, continue to lead by example, proving that experience and mentorship remain vital pillars of progress.

Beyond the cellar, many of these women are also building communities - supporting growers, mentoring new winemakers, advocating for sustainability, and creating space for others to succeed. Their stories remind us that wine is never made in isolation. It is shaped by relationships: between land and farmer, teacher and student, past and future.

As the Shades of Vino collection continues to evolve, new producers may be introduced who share these same values - makers who bring thoughtful craftsmanship, diverse perspectives, and a commitment to inclusivity in wine. Each new addition strengthens the community behind the collection, reinforcing the idea that while every vineyard is unique, the roots beneath them are often intertwined.

Together, these wines invite us to celebrate not only the flavors in the glass, but the people behind them. They encourage us to slow down, share generously, and recognize the many hands and stories that shape each bottle.

Because when women support one another, the vineyard grows stronger - and the future of wine continues to flourish.

As you explore this season’s selections, we invite you to savor them. Share them. Let them spark conversation, curiosity, and connection around your table.

Because great wine brings people together - and community, like a vineyard, thrives when its roots grow deep.
