The Chilean Wine Region

Your life, elsewhere.

Chilean Wine Region

Let’s start by saying that the Chilean wine region is not an extension of Mendoza. And though the Andes are an important attribute of Chilean wine production, they’re not the only. Running in parallel to the Andes is Chile’s Coastal Mountain Range. Protecting the vineyard grapes from Pacific winds, this is where the magic comes from.

If you like seductively crisp whites, roses, and oranges, the Casablanca Valley is for you. Prefer tantalizing velvet reds? Take to the Colchagua or Millahue valley’s expansive lands. And for a taste of history, head towards the Maipo Valley; a Cab-Sav powerhouse. And don’t forget to enjoy the famous Carmenere grape, Chile’s signature wine.

Sprinkled around the valleys are a collection of boutique properties. Ranging from traditional family-run to ultra-luxury, each is blessed with immaculate views. The Chilean wine region is the perfect relaxing finale to any journey in Chile. It’s also perfectly located within a few hours’ reach of Santiago.

Culture

For the New-World, Chile’s wine region has done well for itself. And though only introduced in the 1500s, wine production is very much part of local culture. From rituals to casual lunches and fire-side dinners, wine is everywhere.

Food

Where there’s good wine there is usually good food and the Chilean wine region is no exception. The luxury hotels in the area spare no expense to make sure the food is nothing short of exquisite. Equally marvelous is the home-cooked goodness of the more traditional lodges.

Relax

Inviting in every sense, it’s impossible to not relax in the Chilean wine region. After a day bouncing from vineyard to vineyard, soak up the grape juice in a different way; vinotherapy. That in pair with sweeping valley views are sure to make any morning yoga a religious experience.

Travel Combination

Where to next?

The Chilean Wine Region is perfectly sandwiched between Valparaiso’s Pacific Coast and Santiago. Just 45 minutes away from the country’s largest airport, it connects very well with the rest of Chile. Find yourself in the Atacama or even Torres del Paine following speedy direct flights.
