Why Visit Colchagua Valley ?

Situated in Chile, South America, Colchagua is dominated by Bordeaux-style blends with some of the country’s most premium red wines being produced here, largely from Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere and Syrah grape varieties.

Many wineries in Colchagua are near Santa Cruz. The Tinguiririca River flows from the snowy Andes peaks, providing natural irrigation for the vineyards and bringing clay and silt, creating an ideal soil for grape growing.

Wine estates are modern when compared to the more historical Maipo Valley with facilities specially constructed with wine tourism in mind – helping Colchugua Valley wine tours draw visitors from all over the world.

What to Know about Chile Wine ?

Like many of the world’s influential wine regions, the steep slopes on the edges of mountains which get cooled by coastal winds provides ideal conditions for wine making – not to mention stunning scenery. Most Colchagua wineries are clustered around the town of Santa Cruz where the Tinguiririca River brings meltwater descending from the snowy peaks of the Andes to naturally irrigate the vineyards while transporting clay and silt to create a perfect terroir.
