We visited the Slanghoek Valley during the annual grape harvest, capturing images for our photo series ‘Wynboer’.

'Wynboer,' is an Afrikaans term for ‘wine farmer' and refers to those dedicated to cultivating grapes for wine production.
In late summer, the farms are alive with activity from pre-dawn as farmers work tirelessly to harvest the grapes before the day's heat intensifies. It’s a daily race against time to ensure the wine cellars receive top-quality grapes for producing the finest South African wines.
