We recently had an opportunity to interview and photograph Simon Back from Backsberg Wine Estate near Paarl.

Simon took us on a tour of the estate and gave us a glimpse of what it entails to be a environmentally conscious farmer in the 21st century.
He showed us ‘Footprint Park”, their Eucalyptus Research and a very interesting Parabolic Reflector they are experimenting with.

It was great to see someone who genuinely cares for the environment and who has obviously been putting a lot of time, effort and money into doing their bit as responsible farmers.

The virtual tour below we created has embedded video in it.

It’s a relatively new way of doing it and we think it works well to communicate information.
Click on the video icon in the virtual tour to see what Simon has to say and use the drop down menus to go to other scenes.
You’ll find more videos in “Eucalyptus Research” and “Conservancy Projects” spins.

Go to the Backsberg website for more information on their wines, the estate, the wedding venue, the restaurant and some general news on what they’re up to on a day to day basis.

We have some more content which we created for Backsberg and we’ll be sharing some of it here in the coming months.
