The Company was founded by the Hungarian Viniculture Foundation established in 1991. Representatives of different areas of viniculture, including training, professional associations, business federations and research, are on the Foundation’s Board of Trustees, which inspects VINICULTURE PBC’s work as both owner and managing body.
As raising the culture of production and consumption is only feasible together at the same time, VINICULTURE PBC operates primarily by organising events which promote the living connection between the product and the consumer in the spirit of high quality. Our work to reach our targets over the last decade has already brought numerous results.
The Budapest International Wine Wine Festival, held in 2010 for the 19th time, has become the sector’s biggest event and an outstanding festival in Budapest’s calendar.
VinAgora for years has been one of the world’s professionally most prestigious competitions. It is a member of VINOFED, (Fédération Mondiale des Grands Concours Internationaux de Vins et Spiritueux), in which the world’s nine premier wine competitions joined forces.
VINICULTURE PBC’s activity expands from year to year. These are a few highlights:
· professional organisation of the National Savings Cooperatives’ Wine Competition (annually since 1999)
· co-organising the Bull’s Blood of Eger Conference and International Wine Competition (biennially since 2002)
