Over
Korte feiten: Peru's oldest producing winery has been pressing grapes since 1857. The estate's underground cellars hold over 300 French oak barrels, some aging pisco for more than a decade before bottling.
Hoogtepunten: A 150-year-old underground tunnel system, carved into the desert soil, keeps the barrels at a constant 18°C year-round without any modern cooling. Visitors can walk these candlelit tunnels and inhale the sweet scent of Quebranta grapes that hangs thick in the cool air.
Insidertips
- Ask for a tasting of their Quebranta Mosto Verde pisco, it's the highest quality and not always offered on the basic tour.
- Bring a sweater even on hot days, the underground cellars stay at a cool 18°C year-round.
- Visit the small on-site museum first to see original 19th-century copper stills before the tasting.
- Skip the sweet wines and focus on the pisco flights, that's what this bodega is famous for.
