Wine Tourism Startup And A New Buenos Aires Wine Bar Partner For Joint Fundraising & Crowdfunding

The principals for Wines of Charleston and Con Altura (a wine bar in Argentina) will fundraise for investment via a promotional roadshow through South America.

CHARLESTON, SC, UNITED STATES, December 12, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- This is Anthony Bourdain's "Parts Unknown"—---only with wine (and South America).

This road trip, spanning over 10,000 kilometers through iconic landscapes, unique wineries, and key cultural regions, will unfold in several stages throughout 2024 and 2025. Beginning in December with a journey between Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, and Chile. It will highlight South America’s cultural and oenological richness, support small producers, and strengthen commercial and cultural ties between the region and the United States.

The documentary will chronicle a unique journey through the most renowned landscapes and wineries of South America, delving into human stories and traditions that connect local producers with new commercial opportunities. Simultaneously, Con Altura Wine Bar will open its doors in Buenos Aires as a space to celebrate these discoveries, offering carefully curated wines from small producers selected during the journey.

This initiative not only aims to showcase the quality of South America’s wines but also to promote cultural and sustainable tourism in the region and demonstrate how local traditions and viticulture can drive economic development. By attracting international visitors and creating opportunities for small communities, the project aspires to make a lasting impact. As filming progresses, regular updates will be shared on social media (such as the Con Altura Whatsapp Channel) inviting audiences to participate in each stage of the journey.

A Project with a Purpose

At its heart, the project aims to support small producers and promote wine tourism. “We want the wines we discover during this journey to reach more people, connecting the stories behind each bottle with wine lovers around the world”, says Bárbara Santori, the project’s marketing strategist and legal counsel.

The journey will include key destinations such as Punta del Este in Uruguay, showcasing Tannat wines; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, during the iconic New Year's Eve celebration; Santiago and Chile’s renowned wine valleys, such as Maipo and Casablanca; and Argentina’s regions of Mendoza, Salta, the Northwest, and Buenos Aires. Additionally, the collaboration with Wines of Charleston, a South Carolina-based company, will serve as a strategic bridge to connect these exceptional wines with Charleston’s most exclusive gastronomic establishments, strengthening commercial and cultural ties across continents.

It is also an innovative vision that combines art, culture, and commerce, Con Altura unites a documentary, a wine bar, and an international collaboration. The project creates a unique model that positions South America not only as a leading wine-producing region but also as a hub of creativity and global collaboration.
