Wine has long been perceived as a male-dominated world. For centuries, symbolic authority, from inheritance in family domains to the role of the “master winemaker”, has largely been coded as masculine.

A busy hotelier has just wrapped up their best August ever – traditionally it has always been a strong month, but this year it’s been non-stop action. Multiple sell-outs, countless rooms turned, and after closing the books, the overworked team is ready for a much-deserved breather.
