Event Description

In 1981, Susana Balbo became the first female in Argentina to earn a degree in enology.  She became not only the first female Winemaker in Argentina but also the first woman ever to be elected president of Wines of Argentina. This was only the beginning of what has proven to be a tour de force career. Initially serving as a consulting winemaker, Susanna’s early work led to important advancements associated with the indigenous Torrontes grape.

Three times elected to the Presidency of Wines of Argentina by her peers, Susana’s work ethic, innovative approach to winemaking and dedication to the worldwide success of Argentine wine have all been cited. Her pioneering spirit, skill and drive have also yielded epithets such as “one of the most influential winemakers,” ”woman of the year,” and “one of the 10 most influential women in the wine world”. Today Susana Balbo has four very successful brands to her name.

Join Susana’s daughter Ana Lucia as she guides us through a sampling of the legendary wines of Susana Balbo. Learn how this family has taken the winery to new heights!
