Space Coast, FL 2026

The 2025 Wine Women & Shoes Space Coast event was a smashing success – raising $425,000, including just over $180,000 in sponsorships! Thank you to all the sponsors and guests for stepping up to support economic opportunities for women.

Looking ahead, we are going to use 2026 as a strategic pause that will allow us to return bigger and better in 2027. Stay tuned for this exciting announcement! 

In lieu of the signature gala, we will host a few smaller Wine Women & Shoes branded pop-up events throughout 2026 that will allow us to expand community engagement, showcase local businesses, and build excitement for the next gala. The first will be a Champagne Brunch and Happy Hour at Venezia Wine Veranda, featuring a Marketplace by Thrive Local on Saturday January 31st. Plus, each guest will be automatically entered to win 2 VIP tickets to the 2027 Wine Women & Shoes Gala –  a $700 value!  So grab your girlfriends and celebrate the end of ‘Dry January’ in style!!
