WineHub hosts seminars, conferences, product launches, tastings and company evenings for groups of 10 to 150 people, and meetings of 4 to 35 in its meeting rooms. Organizers can book from 20 to 200 m² of indoor and outdoor space. The venue is a coworking space in former wine stores at 4 Quai de Bacalan, in the Chartrons district of Bordeaux, on the quays of the Garonne.
Seminars and company events
The event spaces are modular, so the team sets them to the size of the group, from a small committee to a launch or conference. Projection and sound systems are in place for talks. The team can run the whole event: caterer, wine selection, tasting workshop, and staff such as photographer, videographer, sound engineer, waiters and security agents. A winemaker or a sommelier can lead a session, and the house also runs educational wine games.
Meeting rooms are rented by the hour, half day or day, with very high-speed internet and hot drinks included. Companies that book often can buy packages. The building also works daily as a coworking space, with private offices for teams of 4 to 16 and shared desks, so a visiting team can extend its stay and keep working on site for a few days.
Rooms and capacities
Five meeting rooms are named after grape varieties. Chenin takes 4 to 5 people and has an open view. Chardonnay takes 6 to 8 and is set for presentations and video calls. The Syrah lounge seats 8 to 10 on sofas, with a private rooftop next to it. Cabernet takes 10 to 14 around a large walnut table, with a touch screen, an adjoining terrace and step-free access. Merlot is a flexible room with two terraces and step-free access, set as a conference room, a lounge or a meeting room, with capacity agreed per event.
For tastings and presentations, a tasting room has a large touch screen and mouth-blown Zwiesel crystal glasses. The wine bar can be hired for a cocktail, with wines by the glass from an Enomatic dispenser. Outdoors, the venue has a terrace on the quays, two planted private patios and a planted rooftop over the city roofs, all available for events.
Catering
There is an equipped kitchen on site. Catering formulas are set to the budget of each event, and the bar offers a range of wines and champagnes from independent growers in France and abroad. Coffee and wine can be served on the terrace during breaks.
History and setting
The building is a historic wine store on the Chartrons quays, fully renovated. Exposed stone walls, large windows and period details sit alongside modern equipment. The quays of Bordeaux are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the Chartrons district grew around the wine trade. The venue is accessible to people with reduced mobility.
Getting there
Tram line B stops at Cours du Médoc, one minute's walk away. The Q-Park car park at Hangar 16 is right across the street, two TBM bike-share stations are close by, and a Batcub river shuttle stop serves the quay. Bordeaux Saint-Jean station and Bordeaux-Mérignac airport are reached by tram, bus or taxi.
