In collaboration with the Vinistra association, Neven systematically documents the growth and international recognition of the Istrian wine scene, as well as the beauty of Istria’s vineyard landscapes. It is precisely this long-standing dedication that has been translated into visuals capable of conveying the unique character of Istria as a wine destination to an international audience. The exhibition also marks a new stage in the collaboration between the Vinistra association and the Cité du Vin museum. The partnership was officially signed during Vinistra’s 2024 study trip to Bordeaux, initiating a strategic link between Istria and one of the world’s most influential wine institutions.
