South Africa, a country of wine entrepreneurs | wine tour

It is perhaps not surprising that there are so many wine entrepreneurs in South Africa. Even if the first vine was planted in 1655 it was not until the end of apartheid in the mid-90s that the wine industry entered the modern era. Before that, it had an almost communist structure. That’s no doubt why you find more young wineries and also young winemakers than in most other countries, even though there are a number of venerably old wineries.

On our wine tour, we focus on these entrepreneurs, the winemakers that are spearheading the development of South Africa as one of the world’s most exciting wine countries, rather than on the “big and famous” names with international reputation, as they have to some extent due to their big size.

It is difficult for a small winery to travel across the world to market their wines. But you, as a visitor in the country on our tour, will have ample opportunities to explore some of the very best South Africa can offer in wine.
