Augusta Van Muyen, vineyard manager at Tawse Winery in Vineland since 2021, knows her terroir. She's been named this year's Grape King: “I’m super honoured to represent the wine industry,” she says.
As the sisters continue a way of life for their family that started four decades ago, they hope to encourage a new generation of winemakers and grape-growers, especially fellow women, to forge their own paths.
The new partnership will blend the region’s wine culture with its rich history while raising funds to support both the museum and the local group for farmworkers.
