A Liège native and lifelong resident, Alain is now retired after a professional career dedicated to small and medium-sized enterprises in sales and management. Passionate about business, as well as inspiring initiatives and the social economy, it was only natural that Alain became a member of the cooperative and recently a board member to support the fantastic adventure that is the Vin du Pays de Herve Cooperative. Wine in Wallonia is becoming a given, especially when its production is guided by values of sustainability, ecology, quality, and responsible viticulture. A project undoubtedly worth supporting.

A forestry expert originally from Visé, and head of a European-wide forest management firm, I came to the world of wine through trees a few years ago, designing and implementing numerous agroforestry projects in prestigious French vineyards. I quickly felt the desire to share this field experience and get involved locally, which led me to become a member, and later a board member, of Vin du Pays de Herve. My goal is to combine the conviviality of a cooperative project with the rigor necessary to achieve a high level of quality, essential for the long-term success of a winemaking venture.​

As the founder of the Detry company in Aubel with my brothers, I am now retired and therefore available to contribute my knowledge and skills to the cooperative. A member since the creation of VDPH, I wish to actively participate in its development.

Martine, a biochemical engineer with over 30 years of experience in the food industry, has always been committed to showcasing the richness of our local produce. Drawing on her technical expertise and in-depth knowledge of industrial processes, she has a particular interest in developing vineyards in our fruit-growing region, already renowned for its high-quality local products. Driven by a business acumen and a passion for local projects, Martine is now putting her expertise to work for this collective endeavor, convinced of the potential of Vin du Pays de Herve.

Having graduated from HEC Liège in 1987, I have since then spent my professional career at Ethias Assurances (Ex-SMAP).

During my leisure time, I am, among other things, the administrator-treasurer of a non-profit organization and I have been part of several other associations in which I have held various administrator positions; I have also been on several occasions "auditor/auditor" whether in these same associations or in others at present.
And finally, I appreciate wine regardless of its origin...

A computer scientist by training, Eric began his career in Liège by founding his own company before holding various positions within large international corporations. His journey is also deeply rooted in Liège through his involvement with the Junior Chamber International (first as president of the Liège chapter, then as a senator), where he met Michel Schoonbroodt. It was through the Junior Chamber of Liège's wine courses that he developed a passion for wine. Today, his motivation remains undiminished as he seeks to contribute his experience and skills to this exciting project.
