  • DIONYSIES

    Collective ritual or private initiation, Dionysies are exceptional moments in ancient Greece. The god of vine spreads its spirit among the guests… love of live, arts and a touch of extravaganza.
    Private wine tasting, memorable meals, intimacy with key wine leaders, bespoke visits and walks in the vineyards, official meetings or corporate seminars… Vindême designs and organises your Dionysie, for you and with you.
    You are demanding ? We simply ask for the best ? Good news, with Vindême your dreams are turned into memories.
    Within Bordeaux châteaux, Bourgogne climats, in Champagne vines and cellars, in Rhône and Provence estates as well as in secret elegant places in big cities (Paris, Genève, Londres, Singapour…), Dionysies by Vindême always have a soul. They cultivate the joy to gather around wine and through wine.
    • Private events
    • Corporate events
    • Bespoke wine journeys
    • Haute villégiature

  • SYMPOSION

    Symposion is a civil and intellectual institution in ancient Greece. It is the special moment after the banquet, where guests share ideas and emotions while savouring wine.
    Vindême designs and organizes bespoke symposion for international business schools and corporate universities (seminar, business case, lecture, COMEX, learning expedition).
    Vindême’s college of international speakers bring their expertise in human sciences and hard sciences.
    Topics include family business, luxury marketing, geopolitics, leadership, current issues such as global warming, neuroscience… They address those topics through wine.
    Theory and practice : academic content and wine experience build a successful blend for all attendees.
    Symposion is run by Aurélie Labruyère, a wine writer and a wine marketing & culture teacher at HEC Paris.

  • EMPORION

    In ancient Greece, the emporion is the counter from where trade is anchored. Including wine trade. All around the Mediterranean sea, counters founded and run by the Greeks used to distribute wine to their partners in close proximity.
    Vindême’s wine trade activity is named Emporion. We cherish our clients and our wine partners.
    Trading wine is a patient process of discovering, selecting and building long term relationships. We aim at proposing and showcasing wines from all latitudes to a community of aesthetes of wine at a fair price.
    We accompany a hundred of wine families and brands.
    In love with classics, we also are curious. Our offers are a blend of iconic, historical wines, surprises for your daily consumption and rare truffles for the future.
    Working on the international market, we have the expertise to accompany your decisions in managing your cellar: selecting, valuating, investing, supply and acquisitions of bottles.
    Emporion is led by our wine trade specialist Stéphane Mathieu.
