Festival Director & Curator

Rulé Ernst

Rulé has a passion for good wines and the good memories she has built over years exploring several wine lands in South Africa. Coupled with her warm personality and sense for business opportunities Rulé wanted to share these experiences with the people in North West.  What was a dream turned into a fully fletched wine tasting annual event “Wil’de’Wyn.”
