WINEMAKER OF THE YEAR
THE MASTERS OF WINEMAKING

The Diners Club Winemaker of the Year award is, like our Members, characterised by a desire to be ‘always looking, always learning, always arriving.’ Still the most sought after award since its inception in 1981, our Winemaker’s continue to BELONG.  Since 2001, the Young Winemaker of the Year award continues to inspire, encourage innovation and affords recognition.

While other awards focus on the wine, the Diners Club Winemaker and Young Winemaker of the Year awards celebrate the skills, talent and dedication of those who actually make the wine. When it comes to making their mark in the South African wine industry, our talented winemakers truly do BELONG.
