Identity
In Vino Gildas has a specific history, reflecting a passion for wine for generations.
Granny Germaine, Gildas Royer’s great-grandmother, was the first in 1924 to open a wine shop on Place Saint Charles in the 15th arrondissement of Paris.
It is with this same ambition that Gildas created his Vinothèque in 2008, established in Luxembourg, as an exclusive, authentic place recognized by wine lovers. Events and tastings are regularly organised, public, private, or corporate for companies or for special occasions.
You will be able to discover wines but also spirits, dishes, glasses and accessories. Wines are imported from 17 producing countries and more than 55 winegrowers are represented in the Vinothèque.
Following a recurrent customer request, “The Safe” was created in 2018. In Vino Gildas can thus offer its customers the opportunity to store their wines in a trusted cellar, near the shop.
