SUSTAINABLE BEAUTY WILL SAVE THE WORLD
The Urban Vineyards Association (U.V.A.) was founded with the aim of protecting the rural, historical, and landscape heritage represented by urban vineyards and enhancing it from a cultural and touristic perspective, making it productive for the community and for the future, in harmony with the environment, through viticultural and social policies of integration and sustainability.
A vineyard is not only a sweet rolling hillside. A vineyard can also be urban: unexpected greenery in the concrete jungle, a green space of tradition and soil, transforming the city’s borders into horizons within the city. These are urban vineyards, unique cultivations within metropolitan areas. An agricultural, historical, and cultural heritage of immense value, the vines cultivated within cities are often true treasures of biodiversity: ancient varieties, in some cases extremely rare specimens and biotypes in a region’s ampelographic landscape, have been propagated over centuries without ever being replaced by more productive or market-favored ones, as has happened in commercial vineyards. Hence the birth of an association that brings them together into an international network, promoting historical restoration projects and actions for cultural, landscape, and touristic enhancement.
Tradition of the land within the futurism of the city. The silent beauty of urban grapes watching over, unnoticed.
Grapes for the taste of grapes, and grapes for the taste of the city.
Urban grapes also emerge as a tool for eco-management, contributing to urban sustainability by bringing a rich cultural and natural heritage. Doing more with less.
A simple but meaningful contribution to the city, like wine to the table.

August 2025 – The Urban Vineyards Association Keeps Growing
The Urban Vineyards Association (U.V.A.) is excited to welcome three new members, expanding the network to 11 countries across 3 continents. Among them, Gamboa Viñas & Bodega in Buenos Aires marks a milestone as our first member in Argentina, bringing South America into the association. Located just steps from Plaza de Mayo, Gamboa has transformed the heart of Buenos Aires into a space for wine, community, and experimentation.
They are joined by two unique Italian vineyards: Tenuta Villa Badia Piccola, an enclosed clos where historic Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon vines—some over 70 years old—continue to thrive, and Vigneto Italia at the Botanical Garden of Rome, a living collection of 170 grape varieties representing Italy’s extraordinary biodiversity.
Together, these vineyards show how wine can grow anywhere—from bustling capitals to ancient walls—connecting cities, culture, and people.
