Fiona Bührer
Love of Wine, Second Time Around
Fiona Bührer grew up in Switzerland and initially had no particular connection to wine. After her first degree and a brief professional career in another field, however, she was drawn to South Africa. There, she joined the Swiss family winery Saxenburg and began to develop an interest in wine.
Over time, this initial curiosity evolved into a passionate enthusiasm for winemaking. Fiona Bührer recognized the unique challenges and appeal that the South African wine industry offered. She delved deep into the world of viticulture and winemaking, and her dedication paid off.
Today, she is proud to manage the Saxenburg family winery, founded by her parents in 1989, and is responsible for an impressive annual production of 350,000 bottles. With 28 employees, she works to establish Saxenburg's wines on the market and continue the winery's long tradition. Her story shows how passion and determination can lead one to find their true calling, even if it happens on the second attempt.
NZZ Wine Evening Tasting
In April 2024, Fiona Bührer will come to Switzerland and will then personally present some of her wines and her winery at an NZZ wine evening.
