Atlas of urban vineyards

In the heart of the world’s largest cities, unexpected vineyards emerge between concrete and skyscrapers, revealing a living heritage as surprising as it is precious. A vineyard on the rooftop of an office building in Tokyo, old Syrah vines surrounded by the sprawling suburbs of Adelaide, the steep slopes of Vienna and Stuttgart, or a row of vines facing the famous Hollywood sign in Los Angeles… Hidden within the urban fabric, these city vineyards are living treasures. They form pockets of biodiversity, culture and heritage whose value goes far beyond the wine they produce. This atlas brings them to light, revealing a rare yet global phenomenon that exists wherever viticulture is practiced and thrives in places where few would expect to find vineyards.
