Ingrid Best Is Putting South African Wine on the Map With Her Award-Winning Brand 🍷
#NOLAZINE - After spending more than two decades building her career in the wine industry, entrepreneur Ingrid Best decided it was time to create something of her own. In 2023, she launched IBest Wines, a brand dedicated to celebrating South African wine, culture, and excellence.
What started as a passion for wine has quickly grown into an award-winning business. Best Wines has reportedly earned Best Wine of 2025 honors and secured a spot inside American Airlines’ Flagship Lounge at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), introducing travelers to the rich flavors of South African wine.
IBest’s journey is a powerful example of what can happen when experience, passion, and entrepreneurship come together. After 20 years of learning the industry, she is now building her own legacy while bringing greater recognition to South African winemaking on an international stage.
From working in the wine industry to owning an award-winning wine brand, Ingrid Best is proving that it’s never too late to turn your experience into ownership. 🍷👏
