Their journey began in the early 2000s supporting local producers and evolved into an international trade business, culminating in the launch of By The Waters African Trade in 2021. Today, they curate boutique South African wines, premium olive oils, and bespoke tasting experiences, working closely with a network of local producers with a focus on autenticity and quality.
