A resident of Durbanville was one of four new Cape Wine Masters (CWM) who graduated from the Cape Wine Academy during lockdown.
Wanda Cronje was presented her diploma at a ceremony in the Nederburg Barrel Cellar on Friday 27 November after the graduation was delayed since May due to Covid-19 regulations.
She spent her formative years “in the shade of the KWV headquarters’’, and thinks that may have played a part in her love of wine, which seems to be “part of my DNA’’.
She completed the preliminary and wines of the worlds wine courses as part of the Professional Cookery diploma at the Granger Bay Hotel School in 1994. To clear her study debt, Cronje worked abroad for two years in the hospitality industry in the United Kingdom.
