FAQs
Do I need to like Barbie?
Not at all! While we embrace a little “Barbiecore” flair, the tour is really about empowerment, creativity, and community told through real stories of real women.
How much walking is involved?
The route is under a mile with frequent stops, mostly indoors or under cover.
Can kids or families join?
Stories are appropriate for kids who can listen for 5-7 minutes at a time for 90 minutes. The complimentary wine tasting at the end is for guests 21 and over.
Do I have to be a Barbie?
Nope. 💗 This tour is for anyone confident enough to show up for women’s stories. Pink optional. Curiosity required. Ken would book this. 😉
