“…The results of the present work demonstrate that the territory of Vale dos Vinhedos, through viticulture and wine tourism, is in a position that is moving towards a process of Sustainable Territorial Development, although numerous conflicts are identified that can limit its full development. In this sense, According to Flores and Medeiros (2016), although sometimes the positive impacts of tourism are overestimated, its potential for multiplier effects should not be underestimated, in the sense that wine tourism can be an important tool to promote a wine region while improving a support structure (such as accommodation, food, leisure, shopping, and entertainment) that can interact with other sectors of the territory. Wine tourism has the capacity to play a significant role in the STD, sustaining regional, economic and social foundations and taking care of environmental dimensions (Mitchell; Hall, 2000).…”

Rural tourism has emerged as a tool capable of “reviving” and promoting rural areas, generating sufficient conditions to combat aspects such as poverty and rural exodus, through the generation of employment and income, appreciation of local products, among others. In this scenario, wine tourism also gains space, raised as a strategy to promote the territory and the wine sector. However, when not properly planned and coordinated, wine tourism can bring considerable negative impacts, especially to resident populations. Thus, the present work aimed to identify the role of wine tourism in the Sustainable Territorial Development of Vale dos Vinhedos, based on the analysis of territorial indicators and the perceptions of residents, entrepreneurs, and key actors in the territory. In view of this, the main contributions of wine tourism in the generation of socioeconomic benefits were observed, in the presence of its negative impacts, as well as the main conflicts manifested through the expansion of wine tourism practice in Vale dos Vinhedos.

“…There are also other negative impacts that need to be considered, such as water consumption, waste generation and the impact on biodiversity (V azquez-Vicente et al, 2021). However, several researches on the subject point out that, when WT is properly developed, it can bring additional income to a community, halt the adverse effects of rural depopulation, protect wildlife and natural habitats and act as a structuring element of the territory through the protection of its heritage, its wine-growing landscape and its customs (Flores and Medeiros, 2016;Trigo and Silva, 2022).…”

PurposeThe research focuses on analysing the effect of wine tourism (WT) on the green performance (GP) of Spanish wineries, as well as the mediating role of green intellectual capital (GIC) and the moderating effect of circular economy practices (CEPs) developed by wineries in this main relationship. In addition, age, size and protected designation of origin (PDO) membership are introduced as control variables to increase the precision of the cause–effect relationships analysed.Design/methodology/approachA conceptual model is proposed through the literature review carried out and then verified through structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) based on data obtained from a survey of 202 Spanish wineries between September 2021 and January 2022.FindingsThe results of the study show that WT activity has a positive and significant effect on the GP of wineries, also demonstrating the mediating effect of GIC and the moderating role of CEPs in this relationship.Originality/valueThe study contributes to the academic literature in several ways. First, to the best of our knowledge, no previous study has addressed the impact of WT on the set of wineries' ecological intangibles. Second, to the authors’ knowledge, no previous study has analysed the mediating effect of GIC on the WT-GP relationship. Third, there is no previous attempt to deal with the moderating role of CEPs in the main relationship under analysis. Fourth, the proposed theoretical model has not been previously addressed in the academic literature.

“…Academic literature indicates that the sustainable development of wineries requires the implementation of innovations that are able to balance their economic benefit with social and environmental welfare in the environment in which they operate (Amarando et al, 2019). In this context, wine tourism is a product innovation capable of generating wealth for wineries, society and the environment (Flores and Medeiros, 2016;Crespi-Vallbona and Mascarilla-Mir o, 2020). In the following section, the link between wine…”

In the following section, the link between wine tourism and green innovations is explored in more detail, given that this typology of green innovations can be explained through the increase in the stock of ecological knowledge derived from the development of wine tourism activities.…”

PurposeThis research focuses on analysing the effect of wine tourism on green product and process innovations developed by Spanish wineries. In addition, age, size and membership in a protected designation of origin (PDO) are introduced as control variables to increase the precision of the cause–effect relationship analysed.Design/methodology/approachThe study proposes a conceptual model based on previous studies, which is tested using structural equations (partial least squares structural equation modelling [PLS-SEM]) with data collected from 202 Spanish wineries.FindingsThe research results show that wine tourism activity has a positive and significant influence on green product and process innovation.Originality/valueThe research contributes to the academic literature in several ways. First, the study advances knowledge and understanding of the benefits generated by wine tourism. Second, the research contributes to the literature that analyses the wine tourism–sustainability link, since it is predicted that this type of tourism can increase the capacity for green innovation. Third, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, there is no previous research that has analysed wine tourism as a catalytic variable for green innovation. Fourth, the proposed theoretical model has not been previously addressed in the academic literature, so the study represents an important advance in scientific knowledge.
