WineLand October 2026

The October issue theme, The Consumer Connection, looks at the people, ideas and experiences influencing how wine is made, marketed and enjoyed.

On our front cover, Biocraft explores the role of biotechnology in wine and what it could mean for the future of production.

Inside, we visit the Free State, look at wine businesses with a clear plan, explore international collaborations and meet the people bringing fresh energy to the industry. Plus, new wine tourism experiences, brand stories and plenty more from across the South African wine industry.
