Vivian Sybil Kleynhans

Vivian is trailblazing change within the industry. She has dedicated the last decade of her life to fighting for equality and transformation.

Vivian enrolled in a wine college, attended numerous wine workshops, and completed a wine management course at the University of Stellenbosch’s business school.

She quickly found that in order to start a successful wine company, black female leaders in South Africahave to find ways to operate outside of the established infrastructure and make space for themselves.

Vivian share some of her life stories in Wanneer Water Wyn Word (When Water Becomes Wine) with co-author Jacqueline Leuvennink. Order your copy here and connect with Vivian on LinkedIn.
