About Us

Vino Bay Assets is a fine wine Brokerage with offices in London and Hong Kong. It was founded by a team of professional wine brokers coupled with investors who all share a strong passion for quality fine wines and see its market potential.

From using our globally extensive list of contacts within the fine wine market, VBA is able to leverage on our strengths to ensure the strongest possible entrance and presence in the wine investment market.

We are a team Dedicated to seeking opportunities on behalf of our clients. We offer them sound investment strategies by structuring wine funds, as well as wine portfolio's, to help them achieve significant capital growth on their portfolio through investing in some of the world's finest wines.

We have set up VBA with the specific intention to offer wine lovers and investors a transparent service, all our clients benefit from a secured investment and full documentation on all their wine purchases. We make sure with all our wine buying that the wine is in A1 condition (and in its original wooden cases), along with checking the provenance of the wine. This is very important in order to protect the interests of each of our investors with their wine purchases, that way when it comes to the all important resale of your wine, we can achieve the best prices on the market.

VBA provides its clients with a fully managed portfolio service. This includes the sourcing and recommendation of fine wines, arrangement of transport, storage and the all important exit strategies for the resale of your wine to the secondary market.

As part of our ongoing service we will be keeping you fully updated in terms of the capital growth of your wine and market developments with quarterly bulletins called "The Grape Vine" and bi-annual valuation reports. This is to give you a greater understanding of the wine market today and future developments in the likes of Asia, Russia and the Middle East which, in our opinion, are the leading markets of future wine buying trends which will maximise our clients` returns.

Vino Bay Assets Testimonials

Please take a look at what some collectors have to say about their Fine Wine Portfolio's.

“I was very dubious at first it was a cold/warm initial call on an asset class that was very new to me so my guard was up from the off.

But after numerous conversations that were very informative i decided to take the plunge and by a case. I’ve now been doing this for nearly 4 years and achieved some really fantastic returns with VBA.

I have met a few of the team and you cannot help but be impressed by the professionalism and passion they have for what they do. I found it actually quite infectious to say the least. Thanks guys keep up the good work!”

Mr L Holmes

"I am absolutely delighted with the returns I am achieving with VBA. Well-done”

Mr M Wood

“Not enough good words to say about VBA. I am quite an active investor focussed on the main markets but also have a side interest in Classic Cars.

Approached by VBA to suddenly switch some funds into Fine French Wines was something unexpected. However, after quite a few lengthy conversations i purchased a few cases of 2008 which returned some substantial profits in a very small window.

VBA are upto speed on absolutely everything and i am still amazed at how much they have exceeded my expectations.

I’ve now sold those cases, reinvested and have a healthy wine portfolio performing well. The communication flow is great and my wine knowledge is on the increase!”

Mr J Sheaf

"I have known Thomas for many years now and he has been my go to guy on many different levels.

Whether it be wine or another asset class he has always given me his best advice and has not only made me a lot of money but has also saved me a lot of money too! i have passed on a few friends who i know are equally impressed.

I would not hesitate a second to recommend Thomas and VBA as your fine wine broker and i look forward to our next glass of vino together.
