Sylvie Augereau

Sylvie Augereau is a renowned wine producer based in the Loire Valley, France. Growing up in a family of restaurateurs, she developed a deep love and appreciation for wine from an early age. After completing her education in literature and working in communications, she returned to her passion for wine and began working with growers and winemakers across France. She founded La Dive in 2000, a natural wine festival that brings together producers from around the world to share and celebrate their wines. In 2014, she fulfilled her dream of owning her own vineyard, purchasing 1.4 hectares in the Loire Valley with old, co-planted vines. Sylvie's winemaking philosophy centers around sustainable and biodynamic practices, with no machines used on the land. She trusts that the energy and love put into the vineyard by herself and her team is picked up by the vines, resulting in exceptional wines that are highly sought after.
