TWENTY AKKEDISBERG VINEYARD WORKERS TURN SEVEN BAGS OF SALT INTO 16 HECTARES OF HOPE AND INSPIRE THE WHOLE COMMUNITY

At the foot of the southernmost mountain range in Africa, a group of workers have been cultivating land and tending vineyards in the award-winning Overberg wine region for decades. Now, the workers of Akkedisberg Boerdery PTY (LTD) are the proud owners of their own brand and story.

Four trailblazers of the South African wine industry were honoured on Wednesday 2 February 2022 during the industry’s annual Wine Harvest Commemorative event – which took place at the historic Groot Constantia Wine Estate in Cape Town. The event celebrated the birth of South Africa’s wine industry, asked for the Blessing of the Harvest, and honoured role players who have shaped and influenced the wine industry.
