Primum Familiae Vini Haute Couture Case & Passport (12 BT)

Primum Familae Vini (PFV), is an international association of some of the world’s finest wine producing families. Created in 1992, membership is by invitation only, with a maximum of 12 highly respected families contributing generations of expertise.

Currently, the world’s twelve Leading Families are: Marchesi Antinori (Tuscany), Baron Philippe de Rothschild (Bordeaux), Joseph Drouhin (Burgundy), Domaine Clarence Dillon (Bordeaux), Egon Müller Scharzhof (Mosel), Famille Hugel (Alsace), Pol Roger (Champagne), Famille Perrin (Rhône Valley), Symington Family Estates (Portugal), Tenuta San Guido (Tuscany), Familia Torres (Spain) and Vega Sicilia (Ribera del Duero).

The successful bidder for this lot, alongside the handcrafted collection case containing 12 bottles (one each from a superlative vintage for every estate, engraved by hand with each family member’s signature), will have the rare opportunity to visit all the wineries listed above with a tailor-made program with visit and tasting along with a lunch or dinner hosted by a family member. This lot takes the form of a passport which grants entry to the 12 wineries. The passport holder can bring up to three guests (who must come at the same time as the passport holder). Each year on average only two Special Passports are issued by the Primum Familae Vini to individual wine lovers who share their passion for fine wines.

The 12 experiences will take place at dates to be mutually agreed between the successful bidder and the respective wineries. Please note there is no time limit for booking these visits, so dates can be planned at leisure over the next few years.
