Painted Wolf Wines are the world’s most unique blend of passion for authentic and artisanal wines for conservation – most especially for the Painted Wolf (Pictus Lycaon) our beloved and very threatened African wild dogs. Our range of wines express heirloom South African identity, global award-winning recognition, and our unrivalled commitment to community based conservation. For wine lovers and drinkers, we are simply conservation in every glass.
Right now, less than 6600 charismatic Painted Wolves survive. Enjoy our equally remarkable wines knowing that you are supporting their future and the last remaining wilderness areas in Africa.
The Painted Wolf, or African wild dog, is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Habitat loss, disease, competition with other predators and the struggle to coexist with ever-expanding human populations have decimated Painted Wolf numbers throughout Africa. We are dedicated to raising money for the organisations that are working to secure a better future for these remarkable animals and we donate about 4% of the sale of every bottle to conservation projects.
We have been supporters of and partners to the EWT for many years, with primary focus on their Wild Dog Range Expansion Project, which aims to reverse the decline in Painted Wolf numbers and expand their range throughout Southern Africa
Since 2009 we have been supporting conservation in Zimbabwe and Botswana through Tusk. Our donations are channelled through Painted Dog Conservation and Botswana Predator conservation.
