Instructor
Marthunis J Barnard is the founder of Cape Vine Master, a learning platform built to make Cape wine approachable for everyone. A self-confessed wine amateur rather than a trained sommelier, Marthunis started the project out of a simple belief: South African wine deserves to be back on the map, and you shouldn’t need a fancy vocabulary or a cellar full of bottles to enjoy it.
As a content creator and wine course designer, he turns what he learns on the wine routes of the Western Cape into clear, friendly courses, from how to taste a glass of wine to exploring Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and beyond. Through Cape Vine Master’s courses and its Wine Passport, he invites learners to taste, explore and visit the farms themselves, growing from curious beginner to Vine Master one step at a time.
