What is FinVino?
You, your CEO, and CMO have expertise in wines and banking, but haven't considered combining the two until now.
Fin Vino was created to satisfy the unmet need of merging wine and fintech/banking interests. It aims to explore the intersection of wine and fintech through experiential activities and thought leadership for the financial services ecosystem to adapt and thrive in a changing world.
Finvino is an exclusive two day event for banking and fintech senior executives with a shared passion for networking and wine.

Towards Hvar Island, Croatia
Nestled along the Adriatic Sea, Hvar is a gem of the Dalmatian Coast known for its stunning landscapes, historical charm, and vibrant nightlife. This city, called the "Queen of the Dalmatian Islands," boasts landmarks like the Hvar Fortress and the Cathedral of St. Stephen, with views of azure waters, lavender fields, and vineyards.
Fin Vino was created to satisfy the unmet need of merging wine and fintech/banking interests. It aims to explore the intersection of wine and fintech through experiential activities and thought leadership for the financial services ecosystem to adapt and thrive in a changing world.
Hvar offers activities from exploring beaches and hidden coves to enjoying local cuisine. The nightlife is legendary, with bustling bars and clubs, while the clear waters are perfect for sailing, snorkeling, and diving. Whether immersing in culture or unwinding, Hvar promises an unforgettable experience.
Take a few hours off and explore the island by yourself, with your cohort, or with your sun worshipping partner.
