About CEVI

CEVI: Advocating for Independent Winegrowers in Europe

CEVI, the European Confederation of Independent Winegrowers, is the only organisation representing and defending the interests of Independent Winegrowers at the European level. Independent Winegrowers are entrepreneurs leading micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), often family businesses. They oversee the entire process from vineyard to table, meaning they produce and sell their wines directly to consumers, thereby contributing to the vitality of wine-producing regions.
