Adopt a vine in a French vineyard this Father’s Day
Raise a glass to the man who raised you: with Cuvée Privée, adopt a vine in a prestigious French vineyard and gift your father his own vintage. With Cuvée Privée, your dad will follow the progress of his own vines in a French vineyard and will end up receiving his own personalised bottles of wine to his front door: a gift he can be proud of.
On Father’s Day this year, your dad will receive a welcome pack and a bottle from the domain of your choosing, beginning his vine adoption journey. From harvesting to bottling, he will follow the story of his vines, with regular updates from the wine producer. He is also invited to organise a French getaway – to meet the winemaker and see in person the vines that bear his name.
And here’s the kicker: at the end of the subscription year (Father’s Day 2021: yes, we’ve got you covered for two years at least!), the adopter receives 6 bottles personalised with their name – their own vintage wine. It’s a gift that’ll say “thank you for all you’ve done for me” year after year. After all, if he managed to raise you, adopting these vines will be a breeze…
How does it work? Customers pick six vines from a vineyard they want to adopt from exceptional wine producers. Each vineyard in Cuvée Privée’s portfolio has been handpicked by their prestigious Parisian sommelier, Bernard Neveu (from the Bristol Palace).
Customers receive a welcome box containing one bottle of the current vintage of the chosen vineyard, a certificate of adoption and information about the winemaker. Their name will be marked on their adopted vines. At the end of the year, vine adopters get six bottles of the next vintage produced by the adopted vineyard, labelled with their names.
Throughout the year, vine adopters follow their vines through monthly newsletters and are invited to visit the vineyard and meet the winemaker. They also receive special invitations to the events at the Cuvée Privée Wine Club. For those who prefer to leave the choice of the vineyard to the future adopter, Cuvée Privée also offers gift cards.
