Lance Berelowitz is a passionate and knowledgeable wine educator, writer and wine tour leader.

Lance grew up in South Africa, surrounded by the vineyards of the Cape, where he developed an early appreciation for fine wine.

He has also visited the wine regions of Australia, California, Argentina, Chile, Canada and of course South Africa.

In 1994, after moving to Canada, he founded the Cape Wine Society in Vancouver, which subsequently became the South World Wine Society, focusing on the wines of the Southern Hemisphere.
