Unlocking a legacy asset class

As investments, fine wine and whiskey have traditionally been accessible only to the well-connected few, and demanded managing a complex network of merchants, warehouse experts, insurers, and exporters. Our team of world-class wine experts and top technology talent have created a platform that curates premier wine and whiskey portfolios based on their individual tastes and goals—with all the logistics handled.

Built by best-in-the-business talent

Vinovest's team of experienced operators, software engineers, designers, and data scientists have previously started, scaled and sold several venture-backed companies, while our wine and whiskey experts bring decades of experience in vineyards, distilleries, and market sales across the world.
