Outcomes of the VITOUR LANDSCAPE project

The VITOUR LANDSCAPE (2010-2012) project brought together 10 European vineyards listed as a world heritage. 

At the end of this project, the partners have published: 

• a European guide for protecting and promoting wine-making cultural landscapes (PDF, 19.95 Mb)
• a report on best practice transfers (PDF, 1.84 Mb, in English), given a trial during the project.

A special press pack was also published in the Spring 2013 issue no.5 of Le Vin Ligérien magazine to report on the best practices identified during the project, giving concrete examples.
