WINE & ART with MILENA BERMAN

Milena Berman is originally from San Francisco, California. After studying art history as an undergraduate, she worked at documenta13 in Kassel, Germany in press relations, and then returned home to San Francisco to work for a private photography collection, Pier24. She also worked in commercial and non-profit art galleries before moving to Burgundy in 2013 to work in cultural tourism. For seven years she organized and led travel programs all over the world for donors and boards of trustees of the world’s top cultural institutions such as the Whitney, LACMA, the Serpentine, the Guggenheim and more . Being based in Beaune, Milena was naturally immersed in wine and gastronomy, and found a home in its dynamic wine community. During the pandemic, she went back to study Art Business at Sotheby’s Institute of Art while also working for one of the most revered wineries in Burgundy, Domaine Dujac. Today she works in the realms of wine and culture and is most interested in their intersections, fostering connections between people and places through meaningful experiences. Her company, Hautes Côtes (run together with her partner, wine specialist Loïc Lamy) organizes immersive art and wine programs (both travel and event-based) for professionals in the creative and wine industries as well as for private groups, collectors, cultural institutions, and non-profit organizations.    Links: https://www.hautescotes.com/en    music ‘Baby, I Miss The Internet’ (Rama, Rama, Rama)  by TOT TAYLOR is used by kind permission of the artist ©Tot Taylor/Songmatic Music (2020) PRS/MCPS/PPL
