Our Vision

Execute sustainable impact businesses in Portugal and around the world.

ESG - Environmental, Social & Governance

We adopt a comprehensive approach to ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) practices, integrating them into every aspect of our investments and operations, for example:

Environmental: development of sustainable eco & wine tourism projects (e.g., viticulture and other agroforestry activities), contributing with the preservation of biodiversity and the reduction of the carbon footprint;
Social: engaging the local communities from the conceptualization stage, resulting in job creation and training, and stimulating the local economic growth;
Governance: we follow strict standards of transparency and accountability, ensuring that investments are managed responsibly and ethically.

About Us

We have consolidated the communication of digital & social media profiles into a single channel, where from now on you will be able to follow all the group’s news, e.g., InVino Capital, InVinoVeritas and our products & services.

InVino Capital is a Fund Advisor and member of the Advisory Board of InVino Fund. We work to analyze and indicate investment opportunities combining profitability and sustainability.

In addition to assisting in the diversification of investments, InVino Capital’s partner lawyers assist our clients during the process of obtaining the Golden Visa, allowing access to European residency and/or citizenship.

Wine tourism is a reality in most wine-producing countries, where it is treated as a fundamental activity in the process of consolidating brands and enhancing terroir, acting as an important vector of development and innovation.

The InVinoVeritas team specializes in developing wine tourism projects and focuses on maximizing the value and sustainability of the enterprise through exploring synergies between the wine and hospitality businesses.
