Vina Casas del Bosque

The award-winning Vina Casas del Bosque winery lies within the Casablanca region of Chile. Casas del Bosque started as a boutique family winery in 1993 and now maintains 573 acres (232 hectares) of productive vines; the winery’s specialty is Sauvignon Blanc, but Chardonnay, Riesling, Syrah and Pinot Noir are also grown.
Considered one of the best wineries in Chile to visit, Casas del Bosque offers a variety of tastings and tours, lasting anywhere from 35 minutes to two hours. During the warmer season, visitors can tour the vineyards by bike or have a picnic lunch amid the vines. Come harvest time, guests become the harvesters while getting a behind-the-scenes look at how grapes are processed. 
Restaurant Tanino, under the leadership of Chef Álvaro Larraguibel, serves a menu of dishes made from locally sourced ingredients and paired with Casas del Bosque’s wines. 

Practical Info

On weekend afternoons Casas del Bosque offers free tram tours of the vineyards.
