Colchagua Valley

Approx. Time: 8 hours
Activity Level: Easiest

Colchagua Valley is a must for any wine enthusiast. The wines from this region, just south of Santiago, differ remarkably from those produced in Aconcagua Valley north of the capital. Taste the wines and tour the viñas of Pueblo Antiguo, founded in 1978 by Don Sergio Torreti Rivera, and La Posada, which was bought by Spaniard José Díaz in 1905. These vineyards sat idle until 1960 when Eduardo Díaz Escandón began growing grapes, and fine La Posada wines were produced in 1985. After touring the valley, stop at the Museum of Colchagua, an esteemed private museum created in 1994 and renown for its pre-Columbian artifacts, gold pieces from the Moche culture, amber exhibit, and historical documents.
