Founding members

The Foundation for wine culture and civilisations was born of a collaboration between the City of Bordeaux, the Bordeaux Wine Council (CIVB) and Crédit Agricole Aquitaine.

These three key players in the region combined their ambition and potential to act within this project, having been convinced that wine is a pillar of our societies’ culture and heritage.

The Foundation for wine culture and civilisations has also received support from American foundation the Clarence and Anne Dillon Dunwalke Trust and from HRH Prince Robert of Luxembourg.
