| At the centre of the night is a moment that defines the event and captures the heart and spirit of South African wine, when exceptional contributors to the industry are honoured for their achievements. Each year, individuals and organisations are recognised in five prestigious categories, representing the pillars that sustain the South African wine industry: 1659 Award for Visionary Leadership, Growing Inclusivity, Wine Advancement, Viti- and Viniculture, and recognition of the Wine Agri-Worker.
Can’t make the event? You can still join in spirit! Celebrate at home by hosting your own harvest gathering, bring together friends, family, and your favourite South African wines. Raise a glass, share a meal, and toast to the journey of South African wine.
“Each harvest is a reminder of how far we’ve come as an industry,” says Jean Naudé, CEO of Groot Constantia. This event is a moment to come together, reflect on the shared journey, and celebrate the passion and collaboration that continue to move South African wine forward.

The Wine Harvest Commemorative Event is made possible through the generous support of Groot Constantia, and platinum partner Standard Bank, alongside sponsor partners Air France-KLM, the Western Cape Department of Agriculture, South Africa Wine, Die Burger, Seabourne Logistics, SmileFM, and Vinpro.
“Wine is ultimately a story of people, place and patience. Our relationship with the South African wine industry is built on the same principles, long-term partnership and shared ambition. At Standard Bank, we stand alongside farmers and winemakers, helping them finance the next season, invest in the next innovation and build businesses that outlast any single harvest,” says Karel-Günther Jordaan: Regional Agribusiness Manager: Western and Eastern Cape Province: Standard Bank.
