Tuscany is situated between the Apennines and Apuan Alps and the Mediterranean Sea. Thanks to these amazing mountains, Tuscany's vineyards are protected from winter cold. Tuscany, the place blessed by God, is producing the world famous wines. This wine absorbed the power of bright sun and fertile soil has also brightened its history and art.

If we integrate the element of nature, tourism, art and wine

into the architecture design, 

what would it be like?

As the most important design masters of wine chateau in Tuscany, they have shared their work experience in the studio in downtown. The event has attracted almost half of the design elite in Florence.

The concept of “wine chateau” had come from France. It consists grape planting, growing, gathering and wine making, storing, filling etc. This complete process is concentrated in a single glass of wine. Nowadays, wine chateau is more than a production industry which focuses on agricultural planting and wine making. It’s appearing as comprehensive form combining planting, producing, F&B, sightseeing, hotel, etc. All that makes it part of tourism.

Movement of wine tourism in Tuscany Region

In Italy, we have varieties of grapes, different combinations of soil and weather. The geographical condition encourages the development of wine tourism. It differs from traditional French chateau which is focused on agricultural planting. The wine architecture in Italy has been changing according to the needs. Whether new or old, after combining design with wine tourism, wine chateaus have earned mass interest.

China's modern wine industry starts from the Changyu wine company. So far it has only 120 years’ history. The real development happened in 40 years after the Reform and Open policy. Now China has become the world's fifth largest wine producer and consumer. During the development of architecture, China is considered to be a paradise for contemporary architects as well as the largest experimental field for the new design and technologies. Thanks to the spirit of learning and exploring, Chinese have achieved great success in the history of wine.

DoBe Group, the operator of SIDEC Florence base, since its cooperation with Boeri design office which is the founder of “vertical forest”, has been engaged in an exploration of Italian design. DoBe has organized lots of programs of interior design that aim to establish a platform for communication between Chinese and foreign designers.
