Grants for cultural and heritage tourism
In brief
A cultural, heritage or wine-tourism project can access a small number of dedicated regional grants. This page lists the schemes currently validated for this trade, with their funder and maximum amount where available.
This sector covers tourism projects centered on showcasing cultural heritage or local terroir, including wine tourism.
The number of schemes specifically dedicated to this niche remains limited: most cultural tourism grants are included within broader schemes for sustainable tourism or visitor attractions.
If your project falls more broadly under a visitor attraction or a leisure activity, the "mountain, water-sports and leisure tourism" page may also be relevant to you.
This page helps you identify relevant funding leads. It does not, however, replace an individual check of your eligibility.
Run a personalised scan to identify the public grants and funding your company may be able to access.
Which projects are covered?
The grants listed here fund the development of a wine-tourism activity, the creation or diversification of a cultural visitor attraction, or a cultural tourism innovation project.
How much can be obtained?
The known maximum amount reaches €20,000 for the development of wine-tourism activities (Bourgogne-Franche-Comté Region).
How to identify the right funding for your project?
The small number of schemes strictly dedicated to this niche makes it all the more useful to also check the neighboring pages (sustainable tourism, know-how tourism, visitor attractions).

Frequently asked questions about grants for cultural tourism
What public grants exist for a cultural tourism project?
3 open schemes are listed specifically for this trade on Capital OS — a limited number, as this niche remains young within regional tourism policy.
Other grants for sustainable tourism, know-how tourism or visitor attractions may supplement this list depending on your specific project.
My project is wine-tourism related: where can I find the right grants?
A regional scheme dedicated to wine tourism is among the grants listed on this page; the number of strictly wine-tourism-specific grants, however, remains very limited in the current catalog.
A personalized diagnostic identifies neighboring schemes (sustainable tourism, heritage) genuinely accessible to your project.
Is my company eligible for these grants?
It depends on each scheme: most require a specific presence in the relevant area.
This page does not assume your project's eligibility; a personalized diagnostic checks it against your real criteria.
How do I apply for this type of grant?
The application is made directly with the relevant Region.
A personalized diagnostic first identifies the schemes that are genuinely relevant to your project, before starting the process.
