The projects to support

With this third major exhibition taking place from 14 March to 30 June 2019, La Cité du Vin has chosen a decidedly contemporary project bringing together art, design and wine.  This exhibition intends to explore the links between glass containers for wine, champagne and cognac, through a broader reflection on contemporary design and wine as cultural phenomena.  From its production to its history, wine has many points in common with glass.

These eclectic talk-show-style discussions bring together a panel of guests to decipher wine news and learn more about the world of wine. Winemakers, sommeliers, merchants, journalists, doctors, athletes, artists, scientists and more discuss a topic in front of an audience.

For this second Guest Wine Region, La Cité du Vin is inviting Porto to showcase its vineyards to the public from a cultural and civilisation angle through an original and aesthetic exhibition.  This key event in the cultural life of La Cité du Vin will revolve around a temporary exhibition, a cultural programme and associated mediation.

Accessibility to as many people as possible is a philosophy of openness to the world which the La Cité du Vin teams aim to promote on a daily basis. This choice matches the ‘universal’ theme and positioning being developed at La Cité du Vin. La Cité du Vin holds Tourism and Disability certification for the four disability categories.

Terroir weekends highlight a particular wine terroir somewhere in the world via a unique programme running from Friday evening to Sunday.
