Olivier Midiere, the Manila-based multi-entrepreneur and CEO of PGI Holding, Inc. said, “Welcome to the Heart of Alsace. 10,463 km distance from Colmar to Manila - a distance, which my team and I have decided to shorten. Drawn by my passion for Alsatian wine and for this unique region, the Heart of Alsace’s mission is to promote the region through rich and innovative experiences here in the Philippines.”

One of Europe’s best kept secrets, the Alsace Wine Route is home to local vineyards amidst the beauty of France’s Grand Est region. The launch of the Heart of Alsace marks itself to be the ambassador brand of the French “art de vivre” - an extremely rich Alsatian terroir, also known for its legendary hospitality.
