About Bodegas Pomar
Bodegas Pomar is Empresas Polar's wine estate at Carora, in Lara state, which released its first vintage in 1990 after the company set out to prove that quality wine could be grown in Venezuela despite the barriers involved in cultivating grapes there. Polar's own history describes it as the country's first tropical vineyard and the starting point of a domestic wine industry that had not previously existed.

About the owner: Empresas Polar
Empresas Polar is a privately held company headquartered in Caracas, Venezuela, founded in 1941. Brandtree records 17 brands under its control.
Empresas Polar is Venezuela's largest privately held company, founded in Caracas in 1941 around what became Polar Pilsen beer and grown since into the country's dominant food and beverage group. Its own history describes deliberate diversification along the corn value chain from Harina P.A.N. precooked flour, into rice, pasta, snacks, dairy, oils and packaging, and a major expansion in 2001 when it bought food conglomerate Mavesa and inherited that company's margarine, condiment, cold-cuts and home-care brands. It now also operates P.A.N. flour plants and joint ventures outside Venezuela, in Colombia, the United States, Mexico, Spain and elsewhere, describing itself as the first global mass-consumption brand to come out of Venezuela.
