To understand the private collection which is sheltered by the Wine Documentation Centre of Dinastía Vivanco, you have to know the oenological tradition of Vivanco’s Family, which goes back to the beginning of the 20th century. The passion for wine and the enterprising spirit are still untouched decade after decade and, in the third generation, it is transformed into a philanthropist wish of introducing to everybody what wine symbolizes, not only in the bosom of this wine-producer family, but also in art, culture and humanity.
So, Pedro Vivanco Paracuellos starts to acquire at the beginning of the 70’s, the first museographic pieces, of any kind, and also books from different ages and oenological thematic. Nowadays, we can talk about an unprecedented collection which is the soul of the Museum of the Wine Culture, world-wide concerning, and of the Wine Documentation Centre. Both are key places to make real the reason by which Dinastía Vivanco Foundation was born: to investigate, to spread and introduce, tirelessly, the wine culture in its several statements.
Eight years ago, it was begun the cataloguing, in computer medium, of the different document funds, task which is still going on due to the collection volume and the constant acquisition of chosen documents and national and foreign materials.
