Business is hard,
but it doesn't have to be lonely.
The Champagne Lounge is Australia's Regional Business Women's Network.
Cheers to real conversations, next level connection, incredible business support and a whole heap of celebration with like-minded regional business women.
Welcome to The Champagne Lounge!
Where Regional and Rural Women in Business Come Together to Connect, Celebrate, and Thrive!
Being a regional or rural solopreneur in business can often feel isolating and lonely. Local networks are limited, and finding like-minded people nearby can be a real challenge. But at The Champagne Lounge, we believe that distance shouldn’t stand in the way of meaningful connections, shared successes, or support when you need it most.
That’s why The Champagne Lounge was created - as a digital-first community where regional and rural solopreneurs can break free from isolation and build real, supportive connections with women who truly understand their journey. Through our virtual meetups, interactive workshops, and inspiring events, we bring the strength of community right to your fingertips. Here, you’ll find the power to embrace your achievements and celebrate every step, big or small, with others who are on the same path.
The Champagne Lounge is about more than just networking; it’s a place to celebrate your wins without hesitation, to share your challenges, and to find encouragement and inspiration from women across the country. Studies show that solopreneurs who connect in strong online communities feel less isolated, more empowered, and more connected locally and professionally. We’re here to make sure you feel seen, heard, and supported every step of the way.
Ready to connect, grow, and celebrate with a community that gets you? Join us, and together, let’s raise a glass to your journey.

"I was in need of a new crew to hang out with in business, and Rebecca's Champagne Lounge came along at just the right time. I needed to step up, stretch my mind, find new perspectives and grow my support network. We have great conversations and support - plus some easy banter (especially on Wednesdays when wine is often involved!) What I love most is that I can hop in and out of the sessions, no pressure or expectations. I have found my new business besties!"

Hi, I'm Rebecca Saunders
I'm the Founder of The Champagne Lounge, a serial entrepreneur and lover of Champagne, Post-It's and making my dreams a reality. I've been on the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship since 2012. It hasn't always been easy, and at times I've felt incredible lonely - can you relate? So, after selling part of my business and moving to regional NSW I decided it was time to do something fulfilling, impactful and fun.
I created The Champagne Lounge to give every business woman in regional and rural Australia a cheer squad. A community of women who dream as big as you do. Who want to have more, who want to do more and who want a high-five when they make their dreams a reality. And who want to do it having fun, feeling supported and being connected along the way. It's time to celebrate the uniqueness of YOU and the way you're doing business and life on your terms. I can't wait to meet you!
"Business can be tough and it can get really heavy. Spending time in this community is like spending time in a business family. They get the heavy. They get the struggle. They get the flow. And no matter what they're my cheer squad."
