It is the only network encompassing the so-called ‘Old’ and ‘New’ worlds of wine, and exists to encourage travel, education and business exchanges between the internationally renowned cities of Bilbao/Rioja, Bordeaux, Cape Town, Christchurch/South Island, Florence, Mainz/Rheinhessen, Mendoza, Porto San Francisco/Napa Valley and Valparaíso/Casablanca Valley.
