The Wine Forum is an invitation-only, not-for-profit Swiss Association whose members share three attributes: - They are global leaders in their field - They share a passion for fine wine - They are dedicated and generous philanthropists The Wine Forum’s members agree to make philanthropic donations (at least) equivalent to their annual expenditure on wine. The Wine Forum facilitates the establishment of more intimate and personal relationships between our members and the producers of the world’s finest wines. We hold two exclusive events per year in the most prestigious vineyard venues around the world and convene in Davos during the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting. During 2010 we arranged guided tours of Bordeaux and the Napa Valley for 25-30 of our members. There we sampled the finest wines together with chateaux owners, producers and respected wine experts. At these 2-day visits, members share their thoughts and ideas on their philanthropic activities.
