Keegan Terry won the Distell Inter Hotel Challenge's Wine Steward of the Year award in 2020 and currently works at Mount Nelson.
Keegan is a food and beverage supervisor who works at the iconic Belmond Mount Nelson Hotel, where he is the main liaison between all food and beverage outlets within Belmond Mount Nelson’s Planet Bar and ensures the smooth running of his department.
Keegan believes that the wine industry is an integral feature within the food and beverage field, and he has developed a growing passion and insight into wine stewarding.
Working within the hotel, Keegan has had the amazing opportunity to work with and be exposed to the best wines South Africa has to offer and aspires to further his skills to become a sommelier who specializes in promoting South African wines to international guests as he has noticed through his experience, that they are not often exposed to the amazing range of wines produced in South Africa.
In Keegan’s free time he not only keeps up to date with the local wine releases and developments but he also visits local vineyards and reads up on all the latest trends coming from the field.
