About VIVARDENT
VivArdent is a Belgian wine project based in Sprimont, in the Liège region, built around a 360° approach to viticulture, winemaking, distribution, and wine-related experiences. The company presents itself as a local, ethical, and participatory “winerie” that aims to support the growth of Belgian wine consumption while also offering wines from its own vineyard, selected partner estates, and blended cuvées.
The business serves both private consumers and professional clients such as restaurateurs, caterers, and event organizers. Beyond selling wine, VivArdent combines production with services, training, tastings, visits, hospitality, and business gifting, positioning itself as a local wine hub for customers who value Belgian products, short supply chains, and a more immersive wine experience.
Core Values
- Quality: VivArdent emphasizes rigorous selection, careful processes, and products designed to meet the expectations of knowledgeable wine customers and partners.
- Ethics and transparency: The company highlights transparent communication about prices, activities, partnerships, and participatory management.
- Sustainability: Its values are framed around durable production and consumption, resilient infrastructure, and responsible use of resources.
- Localism: VivArdent promotes local economic activity, short supply chains, nearby producers, and community involvement.
- Environmental protection: The company stresses water and energy management, respect for ecosystems, and biodiversity.
- Healthy living: It links its project to well-being and more reasoned consumption choices for customers, collaborators, and partners.
Unique Aspects
- A 360° wine model: VivArdent combines vineyard production, winemaking, distribution, services, animations, and hospitality in one place rather than operating as a pure producer or retailer.
- Belgian vineyard in Sprimont: The company operates a 6-hectare vineyard on south-facing slopes with violet schist soil, which it presents as particularly suited to vine growing.
- Technical support arm: Through VivArdenTech, the group offers consultance, services, and training to amateur and professional winegrowers, including vineyard establishment and cellar support.
- Modular chai and event venue: Its chai is designed for work, tastings, events, and wine tourism, with spaces that can host small groups up to large receptions.
- Cooperative participation model: VivArdent offers a cooperative investment structure that lets supporters participate in the project and, at certain levels, access perks such as harvest participation and personalized cuvées.
