VITINORD brings together wine industry stakeholders from Northern and cold-climate regions, with a focus on knowledge sharing, innovation, networking and international cooperation.

The association supports the development of viticulture in cold-climate regions by facilitating exchanges between producers, experts and industry stakeholders and by promoting solutions adapted to the specific challenges of these territories.

The VINITECH Innovation Tour is an international programme designed to help wine-industry companies discover new markets, showcase their innovations and build international partnerships.

The programme is supported by VINITECH, ISVV, INNOVIN and INTERCO, all based in the Bordeaux region and bringing complementary expertise in research, innovation, international development and the wine industry.

While rooted in Bordeaux, these partners have an international outlook and extensive connections with wine professionals and organisations around the world.

With the VINITECH Innovation Tour x VITINORD, the two initiatives are joining forces to connect innovative suppliers with wine producers from cold-climate regions.

The event combines expert insights, innovation presentations and targeted B2B meetings, creating opportunities to discover new solutions, exchange knowledge and develop international partnerships around key challenges such as spring frost, climate adaptation and vineyard resilience.

The event is co-financed by the Nouvelle Aquitaine Region (SIRENA program) and EEN.
