Anabela CarneiroUP Professor "The WINTOUR Program offers to its students a relevant insight in four main areas: winemaking, wine tourism, wine marketing and wine heritage. The expertise of the 3 Faculties involved combined with the top quality invited speakers (such as CEOs, Winemaking Directors, Marketing Directors, among others), the wide range of fieldtrips organized and the internships provided by this Program are not a common offer within these study areas. This commitment is the key which explains how WINTOUR is a unique and successful Master Program, capable of endowing our graduates with multidisciplinary competencies, being highly qualified to work on wine tourism." |

Salvador Anton ClavéURV Professor "I often go places to give lectures, participate in conferences or conduct seminars and I always refer to the WINTOUR Master programme, its students and its academic life. I have seen reactions of surprise, interest, willingness to be involved, plans to replicate it, envy and many other. Everyone is impacted by the nature of the programme, by the combination between universities, learning activities and field trips and, specially, by attitudes of students towards the teaching-learning process, their initiative, their academic and personal skills, their diverse previous background ranging from wine making, tourism studies, agronomic sciences or communication to arts, economics or business, and, last but not least, by their ability to create one of the most amazing experiences that I have had in life as professor. |

Jorge Bernardo Lacerda de QueirózUP Professor and local coordinator "Wintour is the chance of learning about grape and wine production, how to promote and sell wines, to link wine to culture, to the local communities where it is produced, and that way to do from wine a "different" product and not a "commodity". It is be able of linking wine and tourism and take the chance of to "surf" the wave of oenotourism (that is growing all around the world). The chance of doing all that integrated in a multicultural group of students with high diversities of background, in three so different regions of grape and wine production, in three cities of excellence in wine, tourism, heritage... What a pity that when we were a student the WINTOUR program didn't exist...!" |

Agathe LairyUB Administrative Coordinator "I feel very lucky to work with the WINTOUR programme, and to meet so many wonderful students from all over the world! It's a pleasure to welcome them in Bordeaux and see them enjoy all the experiences our wine capital has to offer. The programme is becoming more and more well-known by wine professionals over here, and the variety of backgrounds and profiles of the WINTOUR family is much appreciated. Students are in Bordeaux to learn, but we learn so much from them too! WINTOUR is a great programme, students are very special to us, and every January, we are excited to see a new group arrive at ISVV." |

Marc JonasGuest Lecturer at UB "ISVV is for me an important step in my professional progress: first for its prestige and the high level of its teachers, but also for hosting international projects such as #wintourmaster (organization in 3 countries, students' origins) but above all the relational quality that I can install with students who often already have a rich professional experience and a vision of wine that nourishes me. I am very proud to have participated at the International Master on Wine Tourism Innovation - Wintour since its first edition in 2017. I occasionally keep in touch with former students who sometimes become colleagues. More than work it's a real pleasure to talk about wine tourism to WINTOUR students. Since 1992 I have had the instinct of the potential of this sector still under creation now. I set up my training plan and added training in Tourism (Tourist Products Organizer 1992 - Country Guide 1997), in Wine (International Wine Trade 1994) and travels (all over France appellations & California: 3 months in 1995). At the same time I developed a strong wine culture (first tasting club in 1989 - reading of major authors about history and sociology of wine). In 2002 I became a tour guide mainly in the Rhône Valley, the Eastern Provence & Western Languedoc. I started living from my passion as wine guide as soon as the market finally ripens. It was at this time that I became a lecturer guide (guide conférencier). I have experienced the beginnings of wine tourism on both wine and tourism sides with the mutual misunderstandings, the visitors' frustrations but also the power of ideal and dream that wine generates." |
Cinta Sanz IbáñezProject manager and URV Administrative coordinator "WINTOUR is a great Family that doesn't stop growing and being part of it it's a priceless experience. Since 2016, we welcome really talented students from all around the globe who are eager of learning more about the fascinating an emerging field of wine tourism. After their studies and participation in several internships, WINTOUR students become broadly qualified and highly adaptable professionals with multidisciplinary knowledge and expertise in the wine and tourism industries. Their profile covers the absence of new professionals able to understand the winemaking, wine marketing and wine tourism management as a whole and see the synergies between them. I can't wait to see how this growing network of #winesionaries brings added value to the future of wine tourism innovations and projects!" |
