The world's highest altitude vineyard is located in Argentina, in the province of Salta, at an altitude of 3,329 meters (10,922 feet) above sea level. The vineyard is called Colomé and is part of Bodega Colomé, a winery that produces high-altitude wines.

Located in the foothills of the Andes mountains, the vineyard benefits from the high altitude and dry climate, which create ideal conditions for growing grapes. The combination of intense sunlight, cool nights, and low humidity results in grapes with thick skins and intense flavors.

The winery produces several high-altitude wines, including Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Torrontés. These wines are highly regarded by wine enthusiasts and have won numerous awards.

Visitors to Colomé can take a tour of the vineyard and winery, and taste some of the wines. The winery also has an art museum that houses a collection of contemporary art from around the world.

The world's highest altitude vineyard is located in Tibet, at an altitude of 3,563.31 meters above sea level. It is called the "Pure Land & Super-high altitude vineyard" and is located in Cai Na Xiang, Qushui County of Lhasa, Tibet. It was certified by Guinness World Records in 2018.

The vineyard is owned and operated by Rong Shun Biotechnology Development Ltd., which planted 11 grape varieties, including Vidal, Muscat and an indigenous Icewine variety named Bei Bing Hong. The grapes are grown in a harsh climate with high winds, low temperatures, and limited sunlight. The vines are also susceptible to diseases and pests.

Despite the challenges, the vineyard has been successful in producing wine. The grapes grown at high altitudes are said to produce wines with unique flavors and aromas. The wine from the Pure Land & Super-high altitude vineyard is only available in limited quantities and is considered a luxury item.
