The only challenge at the moment is Covid19, as now we are limited in hosting events and social gatherings. But the club ensures to adhere to the Covid19 rules and guidelines in order to deliver a safe experience for all attendees at all events we host. Apart from hosting small gatherings last year, the wine club has hosted its first official event under the theme “Wine and Networking Event” an event which was crafted around creating an opportunity for wine lovers to interact and network while motivating Namibians in supporting the industry of grape growers and wine makers in Namibia. What made this event special was the two prominent wineries in Namibia, Thonningi Winery and Naankuse Collection / Neuras Wine & Wildlife Estate that sponsored Namibian made wine for the wine tasting. The wine club has 40 members and 6 board members Iyaloo Magongo, Gershwin Hamunyela, Justina Nghinamanhu, Abner Shiwalo, Hage Iyambo and Helena Petrus who ensures the smooth operation of the wine club. In the next 5 years the club wishes to collaborate with wineries in order to continue promoting the love of viniculture and to create a safe space for young wine professionals to networks in different social settings.
