Pride Holdings Group (OTC: PHSE) announced today that it has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to acquire Agriturismo Gatti Winery, a boutique winery and hospitality destination located in the historic village of Camino in Italy's Monferrato region. The proposed acquisition represents a significant step in the company's strategy to build a diversified portfolio of hospitality, tourism, entertainment, and lifestyle assets while establishing a presence within one of Italy's most respected wine-producing regions.
Nestled among the rolling vineyards of Monferrato, Agriturismo Gatti Winery is known for its wine production, authentic Italian hospitality, and scenic destination experiences. The property offers Pride Holdings Group the opportunity to participate in the growing global demand for experiential travel, wine tourism, culinary experiences, and destination events. The Monferrato region is a UNESCO World Heritage site, renowned for its wine and picturesque landscapes, which could attract a wide range of visitors.
"The signing of this Letter of Intent marks an exciting milestone in our long-term vision for Pride Holdings Group," said Tim Majors, Chief Operating Officer of Pride Holdings Group.

Under the terms of the LOI, the parties will conduct due diligence and negotiate definitive transaction documents. Completion of the acquisition remains subject to customary closing conditions and execution of final agreements. Upon successful completion, Pride Holdings Group intends to evaluate opportunities to expand wine production, enhance hospitality offerings, develop event programming, and explore future integration with the company's broader hospitality and membership initiatives.
This acquisition is part of Pride Holdings Group's broader focus on acquiring and scaling LGBTQ+ oriented hospitality, nightlife, entertainment, and real estate assets. The company aims to create safe, inclusive, and economically sustainable community spaces while delivering long-term value to shareholders. The addition of Agriturismo Gatti Winery could serve as a destination for LGBTQ+ travelers and allies, aligning with the company's mission.
The global wine tourism market has been growing steadily, with travelers seeking authentic experiences. By entering this sector, Pride Holdings Group positions itself to capitalize on this trend.
