- AdVini S.A. is a France-based company specializing in the production, vinification, maturing, packaging, and sale of high-quality wines. The company operates across renowned wine regions including Languedoc, Roussillon, the Rhône Valley, Provence, Bordeaux, and the south-west of France, and extends its operations internationally to markets such as Spain, Chile, and South Africa. AdVini's core products include a diverse range of wines produced primarily from its extensive vineyards, with a strong emphasis on terroir-driven wines. The company markets its products through traditional distribution channels including cafés, hotels, restaurants, wholesalers, cellarers, duty-free shops, and retail to general consumers. Additionally, AdVini offers wine estates and services through its division that cooperates closely with vineyards to provide tailored winemaking solutions and logistical support, including bottling, packaging, transportation, and stock management. The company also produces ancillary products such as labels and capsules and manages a vehicle fleet for transport services.
Founded in 1870 and headquartered in Clermont-l'Hérault, France, AdVini employs approximately 950 people and adopts an environmentally committed approach with 100% of its vineyards engaged in sustainable practices. Recent major changes include a strategic expansion and innovation drive in international markets, notably South Africa where it has acquired several prominent wine producers in the Stellenbosch region. This expansion includes product innovation with packaging innovations like flexible and recyclable formats and low-alcohol wines targeting emerging markets such as Canada. The company also secured a significant supply contract with Qatar Airways for its Star of Africa brand, showcasing its innovative PET bottle packaging. In 2024, AdVini sold its imprint label business Impressions de l’Enclos to Alliance Etiquettes, reflecting a strategic focus on its core wine business. Moreover, the company demonstrates its commitment to sustainability by signing a climate action commitment with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
AdVini operates within the wine and spirits industry, targeting both domestic French and international markets, including travel retail. Its subsidiaries and divisions work synergistically to cultivate vineyards, innovate in wine production, and deliver customized distribution and marketing solutions.
