“COLCHAGUA VALLEY PREMIUM” TOUR.

Colchagua Valley: This valley is the best place to discover the true Chilean countryside; here we will find the beauty of a region rich in tradition and folklore. In addition, we will discover the main characteristic of Colchagua: its world famous red wine, favored thanks to the warm and dry climate of the valley.

Viña Viu Manent: Chosen among the Top # 25 World´s Best Vineyards. Viu Manent is a Chilean winery owned by the Viu family. Founded by the Catalan immigrant in 1935 when Miguel Viu García and his two sons Agustín and Miguel Viu Manent founded Bodegas Viu in Santiago de Chile, dedicating themselves to the trade and packaging of wines for the local market with the brand "Vinos Viu" .

Viña Lapostolle: It was founded in 1994 by the Marnier Lapostolle family from France and the Rabat family from Chile, through Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle, Cyril de Bournet (her husband) and the Chilean José Rabat Gorchs. The Marnier Lapostolle family is the creator and owner of the Grand Marnier liqueur. In the beginning, the Marnier family was determined to venture into Argentina, Mendoza, but given the complicated production conditions and customs barriers imposed on wine producers, they decided to move to the Colchagua Valley in the sixth region, 150 kilometers from Santiago. Casa Lapostolle has its main plantations in the Colchagua Valley, later spreading to other sites, such as the Cachapoal Valley, Casablanca Valley and even Cauquenes, where they join the Carignan or Vigno wine growers association. Of its production, it exports 95% to more than 80 countries such as the United States, England, Canada, France, Switzerland, Japan.
