A new series of alpine wine documentaries

In the foothills of the Alps, the alpine terroir is characterised by a cold and snowy winter climate, relatively high altitude vineyards and often steep slopes with many native grape varieties rarely found elsewhere. With a proven history of wine production dating back to Roman times, Alpine wines are a hidden treasure in the heart of Europe. 

With this new film series Alpina Vina guides the audience through the Alpine wine regions of Switzerland, Italy and France. These Alpine wine regions are less familiar to many wine lovers and home to indigenous grape varieties rarely found elsewhere. Simon Hardy (DipWSET) and Jean-François Genoud want to make these stunningly beautiful regions and their remarkable wines more accessible. Together with the Alpinavina website,  a range of media is created to support the initiative.
