Company Continues to Lay Foundation for Opportunistic Growth and Scaling Assets in Lodging, Hospitality, Wine & Spirits, Retail, and E-commerce

MIAMI, FL / ACCESSWIRE / January 19, 2023 / Gaucho Group Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:VINO), a company that includes a growing collection of e-commerce platforms with a concentration on fine wines, luxury real estate, and leather goods and accessories, today announced its objectives for 2023 and beyond, as the Company continues to lay the foundation for growth and scale with the goal to create long term value for its investors.

Scott Mathis, CEO & Chairman of Gaucho Holdings commented; 'We have accomplished so much since we embarked on this journey, building from the ground up a portfolio of diverse experiential luxury brands and real estate assets. Looking ahead, we seek to continue development and the build out of our existing assets, to strengthen our businesses by setting up our revenue potential for exponential and transformational growth for 2023.

'Upcoming initiatives for our luxury vineyards estate lot sales program can potentially generate USD 5 Million or more in sales in 2023 alone, while our continued build out of the project's infrastructure (a planned 60-room hotel and spa, that is also slated to include 30-50 residences, and for which we seek to co-brand with a luxury hotel brand) could generate an additional $25 million per year of revenue once complete. With our Masterplan's addition of 200 more lots, ranging in size from 2.47 acres to 6 acres, we anticipate the potential to generate more than $100 million in revenue.

'In the hospitality sector, we have a strategy in place to increase the occupancy and ADR for our hotels in Buenos Aires and Mendoza.

'Similarly, our e-commerce wine sales in 2022 saw increased sales volume, returning customer rates and online sessions, as well as increased distribution channels in both Argentina and the U.S. Our plans for 2023 and beyond include further increasing our distribution channels, our e-commerce sales and our international markets, such as Argentina's neighbor Brazil, which is the world's 3rd largest market for online wine sales.

'Last summer, our leather goods and accessories brand celebrated the incredible milestone of opening our flagship at one of the world's most renowned luxury shopping malls, the Miami Design District, among the likes of widely recognized luxury retail brands such as Off White, Bottega Veneta, Gucci, and Chanel, and many others. In addition to presenting at the renowned New York Fashion Week, we also launched our line of luxury home goods, among other notable milestones. We look forward to continuing to scale our e-commerce revenue growth with an aggressive marketing campaign, as well the launch of our Resort Collection this summer and a luggage + travel accessories collection.'
