Vendanges du Coeur 2024
Thank you to the 433 volunteers who took part in this year's 28th Vendanges du Coeur!
On Sunday 22 Septembre 2024, the Association M. CHAPOUTIER Vins & Santé organised the 28th Vendanges du Coeur. The Association has been organising this event since 1994 to raise funds, which are then donated to the Centre de Transfusion Rhône Moyen to finance the registration of voluntary bone marrow donors on the national register. The day is also an opportunity to collect as many pledges as possible and help save lives. The volunteers harvested grapes from the Maison M. CHAPOUTIER plots in the Tain l'Hermitage and Tournon-sur-Rhône areas. After the morning's harvest, the volunteers and harvesting teams gathered at Maison M. CHAPOUTIER to share a meal. It was a wonderful moment of conviviality and emotion-filled exchanges.
The 2024 edition in figures:
- 433 volunteers,
- 50 tonnes of grapes harvested,
- 17 500€ raised for E.F.S. Auvergne.

To achieve this, the idea of harvesting as many grapes as possible on a voluntary basis gradually took root, with Maison M. CHAPOUTIER agreeing at the time to donate 1 franc per kilo of grapes harvested.
Since 1994, the Association's ations have resulted in:
