The event will take place in the Cité du Vin Auditorium. You can also follow it online by registering on Zoom.
To mark its 10th anniversary, the Cité du Vin is organising a public symposium to examine the role of culture in supporting change in the wine sector.
Culture plays a key role in the world of wine: it transmits knowledge, promotes heritage, opens up dialogue with local areas and inspires new narratives.
Discussions will focus on three key issues: enhancing the sector's appeal in a context of profound change, forging partnerships between culture, tourism, the wine industry and regional public policy, and renewing forms of mediation to support the ecological and societal transitions of wine.
The event will bring together experts, researchers, inter-professional organisations, elected officials and cultural actors to exchange views and identify concrete courses of action.
Under the patronage of: the International Organisation of Vine and Wine – OIV
Hosted and moderated by: Claudia FERRAZZI, founder and chair of the Viarte agency
Under the sarcastic gaze of cartoonist URBS

Jérôme Sourrisseau is President of the Charente Departmental Council, President of the Grand Cognac Urban Community, and President of the Cognac Savoir-Faire Association.
A native of the Charente region, Jérôme Sourisseau naturally followed in the footsteps of the cognac entrepreneurs by becoming a winegrower. A chemistry teacher and Knight of the Order of Academic Palms, he began his career in the French national education system (as a teacher, secondary school headmaster and then headmaster of a sixth form college).
Deeply involved in local community life, he is the founder of the Bourg-Charente ‘Son et Lumière’ show. Since 2016, this summer show has mobilised more than 200 volunteers to retrace the history of Cognac through sound and light over the course of an evening.
He is also the founder and current co-president of the Association des Savoir-Faire du Cognac (Cognac Skills Association) and vice-president of the Association nationale des Élus de la Vigne et du Vin (National Association of Vine and Wine Elected Representatives).
Mayor of Bourg-Charente from 2008 to 2025, President of the Grand Cognac urban community since 2018, he has been President of the Charente Departmental Council since September 2025.
