History of the Event: Wine Women & Shoes – Peoria

By Kimberly Miller - March 11, 2010

Wine, Women & Shoes is the brainchild of Napa Valley vintner, Elaine Honig. While chatting with a girlfriend about the growing popularity of wine and food pairing events, they jokingly said “wine and shoe pairings would be a lot more fun!” And they were right. WW&S events are now in 20 cities across the country, with over 15,000 attendees per year, and they have raised more than $4,000,000 for women’s and children’s causes.

Lu Ann Chillemi, Katie Hamilton Shaffer and Kate Walker have joined the team. With a combined 40 years of wine industry, marketing and event planning experience, they’re expanding the Wine, Woman & Shoes program into more cities, working with non-profit and corporate clients to educate about wine, introduce high-fashion shoes, and inspire women everywhere to think out of the box…shoebox that is!
