Stellenbosch University's Alumni Relations team in partnership with Anthony and Olive Hamilton Russell, SU alumna, winemaker and acclaimed author of "Entertaining at Hamilton Russell Vineyards" hosted an exclusive event to celebrate Women's Day.
The event was held at The Table Bay Hotel on Tuesday 13 August.
Attendees enjoyed exclusively produced Pinot noir and Chardonnay which is highly regarded internationally as one of the best locally produced wines.
Olive also shared extracts from her recently published cook book showcasing the best indigenous recipes from her vineyard.
In commemoration of national Women's Day, a day which pays homage to the women of our nation, SU Alumna were invited to celebrate the great courage and strength of women in South Africa.
According to SU Alumni Relations Senior Director, Ms Bev Witten, "We acknowledge the significant contribution that women have made to the development of our great nation. Women have and continue to be the backbone of our society and the driving force behind true economic liberation."
She continued, "Our alumna recognise this and through various initiatives and events like these, we join in the celebrations and thank our heroes, the women of our nation."
Organisers had a good turnout of 123 ladies attending the event and are already looking to forward to planning next year's event!
