OUR WINEMAKERS

Lara Prins

Winemaker

Growing up on a wine farm, Lara always knew the cellar was her calling. After studying Viticulture and Oenology at CPUT Wellington and obtaining her Diploma in Cellar Technology from Elsenburg Agricultural Institute, this Chenin blanc aficionado completed two harvests at Wellington Wines. International experience beckoned as she spread her wings to Mas de Martin in the South of France, close to Montpellier. Before joining Waboomsrivier Winery in 2016, she worked at Tulbagh Winery as assistant winemaker. Lara, who is born and bred in the Breedekloof, remains in awe of the impressive mountains and breathtaking views of the valley. She enjoys cooking and spending time with friends and family.
