Stellenbosch University and Vinpro have just launched a world-class platform for vineyard training and research at the Welgevallen experimental farm in Stellenbosch.
“The Welgevallen Training and Research Vineyards, established in collaboration with SU s Department of Viticulture and Oenology, will not only offer students and researchers of the university access to an exceptional training and research facility, but is also a great platform for knowledge transfer to the broader wine industry, said Prof Danie Brink, dean of SU s Faculty of AgriSciences, during the official launch in Stellenbosch today.
SU s Faculty of AgriSciences funds the project and has appointed the wine industry body Vinpro to implement it over the next three years as part of the organisation s Gen-Z vineyard project, which aims to promote knowledge transfer in the South African wine industry by practical demonstrations and vineyard trials.

Tributes are being shared after the death of agricultural policy influencer Prof Mohammad Karaan on Wednesday.
Western Cape agriculture minister Ivan Meyer said he had succumbed to symptoms of Covid-19.
He described Karaan as an academic and thought leader on agriculture.
“His death is a massive loss for the academic and agricultural community in SA.
“He was a bridge builder between government and the agriculture sector and brought people together. He was a great facilitator of dialogue and reason in the political economy of SA. He understood the impact of policy uncertainty on the agricultural sector and offered pragmatic solutions. Agriculture was his passion and his legacy will continue to inspire us,” said Meyer.
