As founder of Rethinking the Wine Industry, Prisci As founder of Rethinking the Wine Industry, Priscilla has built a global platform challenging outdated wine industry thinking around communication, education, consumer engagement and accessibility. Through her writing, talks and international community, she advocates for a wine culture that feels more human, inclusive and connected to the way people actually live and engage today.

At Wine Talk, we’ll be unpacking what it means to rethink the wine industry beyond traditional structures and assumptions, exploring how communication, collaboration and fresh perspectives can help shape a more connected and culturally relevant future for wine.

As Priscilla puts it: “Wine Talk creates space for conversations that go beyond wine itself. We are talking about people, culture, communication, innovation, and the future of the industry.”

"It is very important to speak about wine judging "It is very important to speak about wine judging and awards at this year’s Wine Talk.
