Our savoir-faire

Promoting Swiss wine

VINEA Association

VINEA was founded in 1994 at the same time as the Rencontres Vinicoles in Sierre (canton Valais, Switzerland). Since then, VINEA has become a centre of excellence for the Swiss wine sector, organising promotional activities at regional, national and international level.

It runs events and wine competitions, and publishes information about Swiss wine. The association also houses the secretariat of VINOFED, the world Federation of Major International Wine and Spirits Competitions.
