Women, Wine* & Wealth 2026

by Bethany Stephens

Last year, Stephanie Funk and I were talking about how few forums there are for women to dig into understanding how to build and preserve wealth.

Men talk about it on the golf course and in so many other passing conversations, but women often do not feel equipped or empowered to learn about tools and strategies to invest in themselves.

So we kicked off a series of gatherings called Women, Wine* & Wealth (meaning wine* if you want, or not...) just to kick the tires on the concept.

A solid 50+ women have attended these gatherings or reached out to learn more.

Our goal is not to deliver a lecture or stuffy, run-of-the-mill advice you could find on the interwebs. We want to bring in people who are forward-thinking about wealth-building so they can share ideas and get our wheels turning. We want to see partnerships and collaborations form and women who would rather spread the wealth rather than gatekeep.

In that spirit, Women, Wine* & Wealth will return in 2026 with a series of four gatherings (two in Benton County, two in Washington County) hosted in concert with our friends at Allegiance Title and First National Bank. There will be nibbles and drinks, and we're pressuring our favorite finance bros to share their tips and secrets.

Income properties. Longevity hedge funds. Strategic opportunity investing. Ibonds.

These are the topics we're tackling (and open to ideas).
