You become the custodian of your square of vines for the duration of the campaign. As if you were renting a square within the plot. Each square is physically marked with a small medallion, and as a member, you are responsible for its cultivation. However, given the difficulty of carrying out farming tasks on such a small area, actions cover the whole plot.
Decisions on plot management are taken by majority vote within the guild. Once decisions have been reached, the domaine team puts them into practice in the field. Therefore, although you are responsible for your own square of vines, collaboration within the guild is essential to the overall success of the MyViny plot.
Each vine square owned entitles you to one vote in the guild. So the more squares you have, the greater your influence within the guild. Use your votes wisely to make strategic decisions and contribute to the success of the MyViny plot.
Participating in the cultivation of your vineyard is simple and exciting. A campaign to create your own wine lasts around 18 months, offering a unique seasonal adventure. Here’s how you’ll be involved:
Vote for operations: as the seasons go by, you’ll receive invitations to vote on the operations to be carried out on the vineyard. These votes are essential in deciding which actions to take. Expect a minimum of two solicitations per month, but sometimes more depending on weather conditions.
Your influence counts: your new passion for viticulture gives you the power to shape the destiny of your plot. Every vote helps to determine the decisions that are important for the vine’s growth.
Weather-dependent interactivity: as a virtual viticulturist, your new job is closely linked to the weather. Additional demands can be made depending on weather conditions, adding a realistic dimension to your experience.
Field application: once decisions have been taken by the community, they will be applied directly in the field. You’ll see the impact of your votes on the health and development of your vines.
Visual feedback: for real-time monitoring, you’ll receive videos and images captured by the plot’s webcam, enabling you to visualize the concrete results of your actions.
Immerse yourself in this interactive viticultural adventure, where every choice you make contributes to creating an exceptional wine. Participate, vote, and watch your vineyard flourish through your attentive care.
Absolutely! As custodian of your vineyard, you’re always welcome on the domaine. Here’s how you can physically participate in the cultivation and vinification, in harmony with your guild’s decisions:
Visit your plot: come visit your plot and admire the beauty of the vines you’ve helped cultivate. The domaine is open at all times to passionate guild members.
Participation in agreement with the guild: for activities such as harvesting or winemaking, your participation is in agreement with the decisions taken by your guild. Collaboration is the key to our winegrowing adventure.
Respecting guild decisions: if your guild decides to carry out specific activities, such as hand-picking, you are invited to participate with your fellow winemakers. Respecting collective decisions strengthens community cohesion.
Collaborative experience: enjoy a collaborative experience where your physical presence adds a concrete dimension to your virtual commitment. Share your ideas, learn from other guild members and actively contribute to every step of the process.
Your physical participation on the domaine enriches the experience, making every moment a memorable part of your winegrowing journey. Come and experience the passion of the vine from up close!
When choosing a plot, and then a square of vines in that plot, you automatically become a member of that plot’s guild. The guild for this MyViny plot is the group represented by all users who have acquired a square within this plot.
Create unique wines through guild collaboration!
The diversity of grape varieties is an essential part of the art of winemaking, and we have an exciting solution to achieve this despite the monocropping of individual plots. Here’s how it works:
Exchange between guilds: each guild has the opportunity to exchange wine with another guild. It’s a unique opportunity to collaborate with other wine enthusiasts and create exceptional blends.
Create unique blends: exchanging wines with other guilds gives you the freedom to create all possible blends to obtain unique and complex wines. It’s an exciting way to explore different combinations of grape varieties.
Ask the domaine: of course, you can also ask the domaine to supply another grape variety to enrich your winemaking experience. The winery is there to support your experiments and provide you with all the elements you need to create exceptional wines.
In this way, guild collaboration and wine exchange open up a world of opportunities to create unique wines, reflecting the diversity and richness of the wine community. Be creative and explore the infinite possibilities of the art of wine blending!
The half-bottles you receive at the same time as the domaine’s cuvées have a very special purpose:
Tasting with a professional: these half-bottles are intended to let you take part in professional tastings via video conferencing. This is a unique opportunity to simultaneously taste with an expert, learn the subtleties of wine, and develop your palate.
Virtual tasting courses: these video conferences are more than just tastings. They are actual tasting courses, offering you an opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge about wine. You’ll get a detailed understanding of each cuvée, its aromas, textures and character.
Prepare for the winemaking process: these interactive sessions will prepare you perfectly for the moment you will serve the bottle of the cuvée. You’ll be able to explain in detail the wine you’re tasting, making each tasting a rewarding educational experience.
Aside from this, these video conferences will be true tasting courses, allowing you to deepen your knowledge of wine. Once your plot has been harvested, you’ll be ready to create an exceptional wine with a thorough understanding of every aspect of tasting.
The experience of customizing your bottles is unique and exciting. Here’s how you can bring your artistic touch to your creations:
Use our intuitive application: our innovative application provides a label editor. With just a few clicks, you can design your labels the way you want.
Create your own personalized label: the editor lets you express your creativity. Choose colors, add patterns, insert text, and make your label a unique reflection of your wine-growing adventure.
Pre-print preview: before printing, our application will show a preview of your creation. Make sure every detail is perfect before finalizing the design.
Printing at the winery: once you’re satisfied with your design, the label will be printed at the winery. Our team will ensure that it is carefully affixed to each of your bottles.
Personalized shipping: your personalized bottles, now ready to be savored and shared, will be shipped directly to you with the labels you’ve created.
This special feature lets you merge art with viticulture, transforming your bottles into personalized creations. Get ready to show off your unique wine creations with personalized labels!
We are working with a distributor in the USA, the wine will be shipped from there.
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.
You can 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.
MyViny started its first cycle in March this year. 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.
