The High Altitude Trail
Jesuit Wine Tradition at 3,000 Meters
The quote above Bodegas Kohlberg cellar door says it all: "Winemaking in the rest of the world ends where we begin." At 1,900-3,000 meters, these are among the highest commercial vineyards on Earth. Jesuit missionaries started making wine here in the 1600s. The German immigrant Franz Kuhlmann revived it in 1963. Now Bolivia produces medal-winning wines that almost no one outside South America knows exist.

Insider tip. Taste wines from three different altitude bands in one session at Campos de Solana. Notice how the same variety tastes completely different as altitude increases. Their Cepas de Altura Tannat is exceptional.
