The Cité du Vin welcomes five new wine partners
Porto & Douro (IVDP) in Portugal, Iter Vitis Italy, Hawke’s Bay in New Zealand, the Bosnia & Herzegovina and the Sauternes-Barsac appellation have officially joined the Cité du Vin list of wine partners this year. The 2024 intake is the latest addition to the selection of organisations, inter-professional bodies, chambers of commerce and regional associations that already partner the Foundation for wine culture and civilisations (which manages the Cité du Vin). In all, around 50 wine-growing regions, from Bordeaux and around the world, have chosen to join forces with the Cité du Vin by offering a selection of “ambassador” wines throughout the year for tasting at its various on-site activities. This vital role helps to make visitors aware of the diversity and quality of French and international wines.
New partners in 2024
No fewer than five new wine regions have become partners of the Cité du Vin in 2024. Close to Bordeaux or from the other side of the world, these five new partners have made a one- to three-year commitment to the Foundation for wine culture and civilisations (with the possibility of renewal) by providing a selection of ambassador wines that can be discovered in the coming weeks.
• Porto & Douro (IVDP): already in partnership with Wines of Portugal – Vinhos de Portugal, the Cité du Vin is extending its selection of Portuguese wines by joining forces with the legendary Port and Douro region. A special after-work tasting workshop will be dedicated to this region at the end of the year (on 19 December) to discover more of its specific characteristics.
