Valle de Colchagua

The Valle de Colchagua is one of the most promising areas of South America, much more recent than the famous Valle del Maipo, from which some of the nation's most prestigious wines come. Characterized by very advantageous climatic conditions, it attracted interest no less than the Rothschilds of Bordeaux who decided to found their Los Vascos winery here. Located near the Equator line, it is a very hot and dry area, mitigated by the breezes of the Pacific Ocean and by occasional refreshing rains, creating ideal conditions for the cultivation of the vine. The great attention paid in recent years to wine tourism has led this region to equip itself with structures designed specifically to create attraction for tourists, becoming in some ways comparable to the California Napa Valley.
