The Scholarship Raffle
Co-ordinated by WSET Educators Sarah Andrew and Jenny Polack, the scholarship is funded with the proceeds of a raffle of donated prizes from wineries, distributors and other businesses in the industry (Wine House, Woodend Wine Store and Eaglemont Cellars to name a few). Proceeds from the raffle will go towards the WSET scholarship.
For those wanting to celebrate women in wine and acknowledge the winners across eight employment categories, plus the 2019 scholarship recipients, the fourth Australian Women in Wine Awards results will be streamed live on Friday 16 November, at a gathering to be held at Winewitch Sphere @ 83 Fitzroy Street, St Kilda, 6pm – 9pm. The Scholarship Raffle will take place during the evening, and is a great opportunity to support women in their pursuit of wine education.
“Having studied the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) in London and the Sydney Wine Academy I know the value gained from these internationally recognised courses. I also know the expense behind these studies and now as Oceania Board Representative for WSET and WSET educator for House of Fine Wine nationally, I am eager to support those wanting to take on these studies.”
Sarah Andrews, Dip. WSET (Honors) & WSET Educator
