Global AgTech, WineTech & Beverage Innovations VC

We back early stage startups building a more sustainable future for wine & beverage.

The first VC Syndicate investing in the future of wine & beverage

At Xinomavro Ventures, we’re building the first global Venture Capital firm focused on AgTech, WineTech, and Beverage Innovation. We back bold founders creating a more sustainable future for wine and beverages.

Why now? Because the industry is ripe for disruption. Climate change and shifting consumption habits are reshaping the sector in ways not seen for generations. That means huge opportunities for innovation across the value chain—opportunities that can scale globally thanks to the industry’s rare uniformity.

We know this world inside-out. Founded by two wine-industry entrepreneurs, we’re independent, specialized, and hands-on. We invest where our expertise and network give founders a true advantage.

Our goal is simple: to be the catalyst for innovation in wine and beverages—investing in the technologies that will define the next chapter of the industry

What’s behind our name
