The prestigious Wine Harvest Commemorative Event 2023 at Groote Constantia on 2 February is set to honour visionary leaders of the South African wine industry.
This highlight on the wine calendar also coincides with the celebration of the birthday of the SA wine industry. In 2023, the 364th year of South African wine heritage will be celebrated at Groot Constantia.
Celebration of wine heritage contributes to future growth
“We want to encourage and invite the wine industry and wine lovers across the globe, to celebrate with us and embrace the rich SA wine heritage we are so very proud of. We’d be honoured to raise a glass with everyone as we toast more than three and a half centuries of great wine-making in our country. And while we look back at our rich wine history, let’s also invest in the future by honouring our leaders whose visionary leadership is of immeasurable value for the future growth of the industry,” says Jean Naudé, CEO of Groot Constantia.
The wine sector annually contributes R55 billion to the GDP and employs more than 265 000 people. The celebration of the Wine Harvest Commemorative Event provides a further platform to promote South African wine sales and wine tourism
