The Cape Wine Academy has welcomed more than 200,000 students through our doors since we were founded in 1979.
Most of South Africa’s wine industry experts have completed some form of education, training or experience with us over
more than 40 years of wine education.
Our courses are unique in that we focus on the nuances of the South African wine landscape in the context of global wine regions. We do this by tapping into the vast knowledge of actively involved Cape Wine Masters, wine professionals and subject matter specialists whose expertise is incorporated into the course material, training materials and information that is regularly reviewed.
We collaborate with several partners, either directly or strategically, to ensure that wine education in South Africa is relevant
and meets the needs and interests of a wide spectrum of wine and tourism industries as well as enthusiasts in both professional
and social interest capacities.
If you love wine or have a professional interest in learning more, you are in the right place.
Enjoy your journey of discovery into fascinating wine of South Africa and the world.
