Get your sparkle on with your best fancy dress and snazzy cowboy boots as you hit the red carpet! Mosey up to the bar for complimentary wine and cocktails, and then sit down to a four-course meal, paired with wines from the Santa Barbara County Women Winemakers. We’ll honor our 2026 WINDS Beneath our Wings this evening, and proceeds will help fund this initiative.

Each year, we honor the often-unsung women whose work makes winemakers and chefs shine. From sous chefs and assistant winemakers to viticulturists and retail leaders, these behind-the-spotlight heroes are celebrated for their talent, dedication, and essential role in shaping the world of wine and food. Those who work quietly behind the scenes – the women whose hands, hearts, and hard work make it all possible. The Winds Beneath Our Wings program was created to honor these remarkable contributors.

The Celebrated 2026 WINDS Recipients are:

Barbara Perneel              Lead Decorator, Solvang Bakery

Carina Crowder              Assistant Winemaker, Margerum Wine Company

Megan Bravo                   Director of Hospitality & Sales, Melville and the Santa Barbara County DTC Group Founder/Leader

Emily Byram                    Events Director, Santa Barbara Vintners Association & Vintners Foundation
