Antonio Banderas Gets Into The Wine Business

Actor Antonio Banderas is set to become the latest celebrity winemaker. Decanter reports that he has bought 50% of Bodega Anta Natura in the town of Burgos Villalba de Duero. As part of the deal he gets to put his name on the place; it will be renamed Anta Banderas. Decanter reports that the bodega was established in 1999 by Teodoro Ortega and already produces a line of successful wines. Banderas is said to want to be a hands-on owner and get involved with all stages of winemaking.

Antonio Banderas Plans Real Estate Project

Filed under: Real Estate Developments

After a recent trip to the UAE Antonio Banderas and wife, Melanie Griffith, are very interested in leaving their mark on the property landscape of this growing giant. The actor is considering a themed development that would offer luxury residences in Spanish ranch style after discussing the possible plans with Hydra Properties CEO Dr. Sulaiman Al Fahim. It seems the development may even lead to future placement of similar residences in Latin America. I can't imagine what kind of capital you would have to invest in such a grand plan -- at least the double-income of the star studded Banderas household should help support his lavish ideas.
