WineLand November 2026

This month’s theme, Movers and Shakers, celebrates the people, ideas and businesses making their mark on the wine industry.

Inside, we look at the growing importance of Wine Paris for the global wine trade, explore how Vint is giving smaller South African producers a platform to tell their stories, and meet the people behind wine businesses built to last.

We also follow Joseph Gertse’s journey from farm boy at L’Ormarins to winemaker at Havana Hills and beyond, visit a small family wine farm where vineyards and hospitality come together, and explore research at Stellenbosch University into how dogs could help detect unwanted contaminants in wine.
