Tuesday, July 19th, the HEC Alumni House of Paris opens its door to an exclusive wine tasting organized by Farandole, a leading Wine and Spirits NFT Marketplace building on the Avalanche Blockchain.

This event is a great opportunity to discover a selection of wine shortlisted by Grand Cru and curated by Maxime Hamonic, CEO of Farandole Ltd. The host will also introduce you to the tokenization of wine, a growing topic in the wine industry.

NFTs and blockchain technology offer unprecedented benefits to winemakers, merchants, collectors, and investors. Together, they provide proof of ownership to the purchasers, protect the provenance of fine wine investment, offer instantaneous tracking solutions online and through secure storage in a bonded warehouse, the possibility for winemakers to receive royalties when bottles are sold on the secondary market, and enable asset financing to their token holders against the wine value.

Capacity is limited. Register now to secure your seat.
