Aupiais has over 30 years of experience in magazines, in addition to a career in television, radio, and media relations. Having launched award-winning Private Edition magazine nine years ago, she is placed to bring her vision of luxury, lifestyle, and take on market trends.
Val de Vie Magazine, launched in 2007, has grown in reputation and presence with Ryk Neethling at its helm, and under the custodianship of an experienced editor, aims to become a stronger voice in the market.
"I am delighted to be working with Ryk and his team on the magazine," says Aupiais. “Ryk is one of the most admired and recognised South Africans here, and globally. Not only has he developed this spectacular polo estate into one of the most prestigious in our country, his global reach and connections are legendary. As an editor, it is a dream resource. Readers can expect fresh new design and substantial content to build on the excellent track record of the existing magazine."
Val de Vie Estate is set in the Paarl-Franschhoek Valley in the Western Cape. Celebrating the value of family and life, the magazine aims to showcase the people and places of the Cape Winelands.
