Happy International Women’s Day! The whole world comes together on March 8th to celebrate womanhood, acknowledge the challenges that are still keeping us from being an inclusive and equal society, and discuss initiatives that can help us achieve this goal.
Events to celebrate women across different spheres are quite common these days, but those that stand a cut above the rest have something common- they don’t just celebrate women, but add value to their lives too. For instance, being put in the same room as a top business leader could just be the gift that a budding woman entrepreneur or an ambitious corporate employee needed, because it allows her to interact with a senior professional. Such an interaction could inspire her to excel in her field and pursue bigger opportunities.
A great to commemorate this day is with events that bring women together for a fine dining experience so that they can bond over great food and wine.
Here’s how you can make such experiences extra special:
🍷 A relaxing brunch that enables women to let their hair down.
🍷A power breakfast where women can network and expand their professional circle.
🍷A wine dinner where women can forge new friendships and bask in the joy of sisterhood.
One of the most important things while hosting such a celebration is to find a premier venue that takes good care of your guests and ensures that they have a great time. Choosing a premiere venue also comes across as thoughtful and your guests know that they were being pampered on this special day. They don’t have to worry about the food, the seating arrangement, cocktail service etc., and all they can focus on is creating lasting memories.
Here are some premiere establishments that have excellent dining experiences with their innovative food and bar menus, impeccable service and vibrant ambience.
Yauatcha: This Chinese dim sum teahouse offers a sophisticated drinking experience with a focus on Asian-inspired cocktails and a curated selection of teas.

Here are some other interesting ways to celebrate International Women’s Day
Read about women: Celebrate women’s remarkable achievements by reading books or watching films and series that share untold stories of resilience and determination. Books written by women authors- such as Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf or Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly also present an eye-opening women-centric narrative that will enable you to be a better ally.
Listen to women: Pass the mic and listen to women voice their opinions so that you can understand their point of view. The best way to do this is to attend panel discussions, seminars and workshops on women that are hosted by women. Such events are also a great place to voice your questions so that they are answered by experts on the subject.
Find solutions: Sometimes, all it takes is a small change to make a huge impact. Organise a workplace conversation which puts women in charge so that they can speak freely and raise their concerns about the culture at the workplace. They should also be encouraged to offer solutions and suggestions to ensure workplace equality.
Spend time with women in your life: One of the best gifts you can give to the women who matter to you is your time. So clear out your schedule for the day and line it up with some conversations with women in your house or catch-up sessions with female friends. Such a meeting will also be a refreshing break from your daily routine.
