Besides the crowdfunding website, WineFunding also structures “club deals” offering larger equity investment opportunities offline. Maxime Debure launched WineFunding in 2016 after a dual experience: as a winemaker in Australia, California, Chile and South Africa, then as a strategy consultant for corporate clients and private equity firms. Maxime graduated as “Ingénieur Agronome” and “Oenologue” in France and also holds a MBA from INSEAD. WineFunding has analyzed over 1,200 projects, selected and financed 52 of those for a total of €17m.About the winesLoire: Domaine Grosbois & Domaine Hauts-Baigneux Nicolas Grosbois took over the small 5 hectare family estate Domaine Grosbois in 2008 and expanded it to 28 hectares in the Chinon appellation. In 2012, he acquired Domaine Hauts-Baigneux with Philippe Mesnier, a 14 hectares estate in the Touraine appellation. Both estates are certified organic and biodynamic. The partners have subsequently launched several wine brands, selling in excess of 1.5 million bottles, exporting 70% to the USA, Canada and Europe. The group they have created is raising funds to finance the construction of a restaurant on each estate, as well as investment in the production facilities and the growth of its business. We will taste their flagship cuvées:Domaine Hauts-Baigneux - Le Spontané (natural sparkling)Domaine Hauts-Baigneux - Clos des Brancs (white)Domaine Grosbois - Clos du Noyer (red)More info: Domaine Grosbois and Domaine Hauts BaigneuxProvence: Domaine La Font des PèresIn a magnificent setting near the Mediterranean sea, Domaine La Font des Pères, owns and manages 15 hectares of premium vineyard organically farmed in the Bandol appellation, but also 3 villas and 2 restaurants on the estate, as well as a restaurant at the nearby harbor. The company is raising funds to finance the reconstruction of a manor in ruins to create 7 rooms and a luxury spa, as well as a photovoltaic shade structure to expand the restaurant capacity. We will taste its flagship cuvées in the three colors, as well as the spirits made from its grape.Domaine La Font des Pères – AOC Bandol (white)Domaine La Font des Pères – AOC Bandol (rosé)Domaine La Font des Pères – AOC Bandol (red)Gin (made from grape)More info: Domaine La Font des Peres EVENT SUMMARYDate: Thursday 5th December 2024 Time: 7:30 to 10:00pmAddress: HEC UK House 43 Parker Street, London WC2B 5PS Map here Format: Wine Tasting and nibblesTickets: Fee-paying Alumni £45 / Non-fee paying Alumni £50 / External £55 If you need help to register for the event or any information, please contact Marie Normant, our Alumni Relations Manager.
