Wine Harvest Commemorative Event 2025: Johann Krige (1659 Award for Visionary Leadership)

Описание: 2025 Wine Harvest Commemorative Event Honours a Prestigious Line-Up of Industry Greats.
The Wine Harvest Commemorative Event 2025 was made possible by the generous support of Groot Constantia, Standard Bank, Air France-KLM, Western Cape Department of Agriculture, South Africa Wine, Wesgro, Die Burger, Cape Town Tourism, MCC Labels, and Seabourne Logistics.

During February every year, South Africa celebrates the most significant event on its wine calendar: celebrating the wine industry’s birthday by commemorating the South African grape wine harvest.

On Thursday, 6 February 2025, the annual Wine Harvest Commemorative Event honoured the achievements of five remarkable individuals in the South African wine industry for their exemplary standards worthy of emulation. This prestigious gathering has become a cherished tradition within the South African wine community, encouraging excellence and marking the pivotal birth date of South African wine 366 years ago in 1659—when wine was pressed for the first time from Cape grapes.

The 2025 recipients are in keeping with the exceptional leaders that have been acknowledged and praised in previous years and include Johann Krige, who received the 1659 Award for Visionary Leadership; Praisy Dlamini in the Growing Inclusivity category; Bennie Howard in the Wine Advancement category; and Jan Booysen in the Viti- and Viniculture category. The inaugural recipient in the new Wine Agri-Worker category was Marcus Lewis.
