The interprofession
Interprofession des Vins de Bergerac et de Duras (IVBD).
Presentation
The IVBD was founded by wine merchant and winegrower families on November 3rd, 2014, bringing together the CIVRB (Interprofessional Bergerac Region Wine Council 1953-2014) and the CID (Interprofessional Duras Wine Council 1985-2014).
Interprofessions are private state-approved bodies uniting partners throughout the industry. The wine industry’s two representative groups are viticulture and trade.
The following principles must be respected in interprofessional life:
- Representativeness: public authorities ensure that each professional body in the industry is adequately represented.
- arity: the balance between representative colleges ensures equal treatment.
- Unanimity: decision-making during key moments of interprofessional life requires unanimous agreement.
Missions
The IVBD oversees the following missions:
- Promotion: 75% of its overall budget. Celebrating and promoting local AOC wines in their markets with collective marketing and consumer information campaigns.
- Business: organising and streamlining current business methods and relationships. Understanding supply and demand. Adapting and standardising supply. State-approved implementation of current regulations. Market transparency through data collection, drawing up and publishing statistics.

Cooperation, an asset for transition.
The IVBD is the beating heart of the area and shares the same values as the people who live and work here.
The IVBD became involved in the industry’s transition in 2019 by launching a Local Innovation Laboratory as part of the regional VitiRev project. In 2021, the IVBD and Coop’action joined forces to launch Fab’coop to encourage cooperative projects to help the area’s transition.
The IVBD is a private establishment without the privileges of public law.
Financement
The IVBD is a private establishment without the privileges of public law.
It is funded by compulsory voluntary subscriptions that we set out and apply, subject to the agreement of supervisory ministries. These taxes are collected on wine sales transactions and our finances are based on the volume of wine on the market, not the volume of the harvest.
