A campaign corresponds to a wine production cycle.
- It begins when the vines emerge from dormancy at the end of winter.
- It ends when the wine has finished aging.
During winter, the vine sleeps, so not much happens. At least for her, but in the vineyard everyone’s busy! It’s time to take care of things other than the vine.
Here’s the one-year vine cycle:
After this year of viticulture, the aging of the wine begins. This can vary in length. It’s up to you and your guild to decide how long.
No matter when you arrive in the campaign, you’ll be involved in all stages of viticulture and vinification.
Frequently Asked Questions
The app looks relatively new, have you started an 18-month cycle yet?
MyViny has started its first cycle in March 2024. The beauty of our program lies in its flexibility. You can join our campaign at any time during the 18-month period; there’s no fixed start date. This means you can jump in whenever it suits you best.
Where in that cycle would it be the best to get in to get the full experience?
As for virtual winemakers/co-winemakers, we still have space available for new participants. When you join, you’ll have the opportunity to be fully engaged in the process of vineyard cultivation and winemaking. Everything can be done remotely, allowing you to participate from wherever you are.
There are no mandatory in-person meetings or tasks, making it convenient for you to be part of the project without needing to travel. However, if you would like to visit the Domaine de la Bouvaude or participate in the harvest of your plot, you are always welcome to join.
Is the initial subscription only for an 18-month campaign?
Yes, the subscription corresponds to an 18-month campaign. It also includes: 1 square of 12 vines, 1 voting right in the guild and 12 bottles of wine (six from the estate and six of your own creation).
Then, if you wish to continue, you can renew your membership and keep the same square, or choose another. It’s up to you.
What is the start date of a campaign?
You can join our campaign at any time during the 18-month period.
When is the right time to join?
The best time is the one that suits you best.
In any case, there’s nothing mandatory about MyViny, so you can enjoy it at your own pace. And choose the activities that interest you most, according to your availability:
– participate on the discussion platform
– take the time to make beautiful labels
– read all the educational content about wine that MyViny gives you access to
– visit the estate
Whenever you join MyViny, you’ll have access to all the benefits, and can follow the making of a bottle from A to Z.
Can I join a campaign at any time?
Our campaign, which involves vineyard cultivation and winemaking, spans 18 months. What makes our setup special is that you can join at any point during this period; there’s no fixed start date.
Regardless of when you join, you’ll be involved in all aspects of the operations. Depending on your entry date, the sequence of operations leading to the creation of your wine might vary, but rest assured, you’ll always have the opportunity to obtain the wine you’ve crafted.
If we’re a couple, can we take part in a campaign together?
It is totally fine to participate as a couple. However, you’ll only have one account to log on to the platform (but you can both use it). And, of course, you can both come to the domaine.
