Alpana Singh

Alpana Singh made history in the wine world, becoming the youngest woman - and the first-ever Southeast Asian -- to attain the title of Master Sommelier at the age of 26. In November 2020, after multiple women came forth with serious allegations of sexual harassment and inequality in the Court of Master Sommeliers - Americas, Alpana chose to relinquish that hard-earned title.

This is a singular opportunity to pull up a seat and get to know Alpana Singh and what drove her into the wine industry at the age of 19. You'll find out what her goals were then and what they are now. Alpana also will share her insights on building a personal brand, offer tips on how to crush your own goals and stay motivated, and talk about the importance of mentorship and paying it forward.

Join us as we get to know one of the most accomplished women in a male-dominant industry. The conversation will be moderated by Liz Barrett, certified specialist of wine.
