Swirl and Spice is more than just a wine blog. It’s a heartfelt celebration of South African wine, its people, and the stories that make each bottle special. Founded by Sharese, a South African creative, and her Australian husband Glen Hunt, the platform was born from a decade-long journey through the Cape Winelands. What began as a personal exploration quickly evolved into a passionate mission to spotlight the region’s winemakers, wine farms, and the vibrant culture surrounding them.
With their combined creative flair and storytelling instincts, Sharese and Glen grew Swirl and Spice into a digital space where wine meets community. Their blog and social media channels offer a rich tapestry of behind-the-scenes glimpses, vineyard walks, cellar tours, and interviews with the people who bring South African wine to life. From cultivar quirks to food pairings, their content is crafted to educate, inspire and connect.

Swirl and Spice is part of Swirl Media, a boutique agency dedicated to wine tourism and digital storytelling. Through copywriting, videography and social media strategy, Sharese and Glen help wine brands share their heritage in ways that feel authentic and engaging. Their approach is simple: celebrate the craft, honour the people, and bring the vineyard to life, one story at a time.
