Support Cité du Vin
Why support Cité du Vin
Cité du Vin is funded entirely by its own resources (ticket and shop sales, private hire) and by financing from patronage: a business model unique among French cultural institutions.
Patronage donations help to develop Cité du Vin’s annual cultural programme (temporary exhibitions, events, workshops etc.) and renew investment in the permanent exhibition.
Become a patron of Cité du Vin and help fund the Foundation’s cultural offerings by supporting one or more activities that are close to your heart: conference or tasting workshop series, temporary exhibitions, updating the permanent exhibition, or projects promoting accessibility, to name but a few.
Projects to support
L'Appel de la Vigne
Support l'Appel de la Vigne, events held in the Auditorium of the Cité du Vin, to promote and raise the profile of the vine and wine professions.
By making a donation, you are contributing to an event that is open to a wide public and giving the men and women who make wine the opportunity to showcase their professions.
Solidarity tickets
A solidarity ticket is a ticket offered through a donation, which allows remote pulbics to have access to culture.
By making a donation, you offer one or more solidarity tickets and allow remote audiences to have access to culture and come to the Cité du Vin.
Your donations will allow us to offer these tickets to local partner associations. These social associations will distribute your solidarity tickets to people and families in the region.
Corporations
Each patron supports part of the cultural season for the current year or the year to come. Depending on the amount of your donation, you can be associated with a theme of your choice from amongst Cité du Vin’s various cultural offerings.
Patronage to suit you:
- Be associated with a universal cause, a culture and a way of life dating back millennia

- Have your company’s image associated with that of Cité du Vin
- Get involved in the life of Cité du Vin and invite your teams, contacts and clients

American Friends of la Cité du Vin
Join the New-York-based group devoted to supporting Cité du Vin.
The American Friends of la Cité du Vin, a sister entity of the Foundation for wine culture and civilisations, was created in the USA and granted tax approval by the American government on 31 July 2014.
The mission of the American Friends is to promote Cité du Vin in the United States and showcase our shared cultural and universal heritage of wine. Its initial task was to collect donations from American patrons to fund the Thomas Jefferson Auditorium. Since Cité du Vin opened, its mission has also been to support the cultural seasons presented to the public each year.
