The Great Wine Capitals Global Network exists to link cities connected to great wine regions to sustain the health and prosperity of their wine-related industries, communities and tourism. The Network facilitates the sharing of knowledge, ideas and experience; stimulates business, innovation and friendships; and is a means to collaborate on challenges and opportunities. From its origins as an enterprise focused primarily on wine tourism, the Great Wine Capitals Global Network has broadened its scope in recent years to nurture collaborations, practice sharing and a sense of “greatness” in wine-related tourism, business and education sectors. From vineyard to glass, from harvest to drink, from makers to movers to consumers, the Network appreciates its role and value in connecting all facets of the great wine industries synonymous with its capitals.
