Create your online profile for free

Sign-up for free and create your online profile on the WineFunding website.

++With financial securities projects (WineBond and equity), you will need to complete an investor questionnaire and provide proof of ID. These steps are required by law, but worry not, the process can be done easily on the WineFunding website.

Choose the estate

Look at each project online, feel free to ask us any questions you might have, meet the winemakers at one of our tastings, and you can even ask to have samples sent to you.

++With financial securities projects (WineBond and equity) you will only be able to access some of the information (business plans, legal documents…) after your online profile has been validated.

Contribute online

We accept credit cards, bank transfers, and cheques. Your contribution is then kept safe in a secure account dedicated to the project you invested in until the campaign is successful i.e the minimum amount has been reached. When the campaign is successful, the funds are transferred to the vigneron for his project. If the campaign is unsuccessful, the money you contributed is returned free of charge, or you can use them on another project.

Sign documents online

You can easily sign documents online thanks to our partners, CertEurop. You receive a signed and time stamped copy as a PDF. We will keep a copy on our secure servers as will the Caisse des Depots (the French financial authorities).

++ For projects reimbursed in wine, the contract is between you and the estate.

++ For financial securities projects (WineBond and equity), you will receive a bond subscription form. You must also have read the regulatory information document and the shareholders' pact.

Taste your investments

++ With projects reimbursed in wine, the vigneron reimburses you each year a part if your original loan in wine. If you want, you can buy more wine at a preferential price. At the end of the period (generally 2-5 years) you stop receiving wine each year, however, you can still buy wine at a special price or even invest in a new project if there is one.

++ With financial securities projects (WineBond and equity), you receive interests from your loan as wine, and the capital in cash. You can choose to be fully reimbursed in wine. You can also buy wines at preferential rates as you are an ambassador for the estate.

Follow the estate as it grows

The estate and WineFunding keep you up to date with all the latest news and invite you to visit the estate or to tastings.

++ With equity projects, you can buy back your shares after the period defined, from the estate or from another investor.

Broaden your wine experiences

We regularly put new projects online, and we recommend you invest in several projects to spread your risks while at the same time expanding your pallet. You have access to preferential prices for wines from all the WineFunding estates, this means you can build a cellar from wines carefully selected from all over France and Europe.

There are tax benefits for certain equity projects for French tax residents

+ For eligible projects (tagged with IR/ISF), you can deduct a part of the investment from your ISF (French wealth tax) or from your income tax. We will provide the necessary legal forms.
