Experience a rich winemaking heritage and the home of Chile’s first icon wine.

This private visit begins with a stroll through the 22-hectare park that surrounds the summer residence of Don Melchor Concha y Toro, wine making visionary and founder of the vineyard. Enjoy the landscaped grounds, created by French designer Guillaume Renner and featuring species collected from around the world.

You will then explore the historic winery where Don Melchor is quietly ageing in French oak barrels and can even venture inside the family’s grand summer house, still with its original 19th-century décor.

Your exclusive tasting will begin with the parcels from the Puente Alto vineyard which gave rise to Don Melchor, discovering how each one expresses the diversity of the terroir, adding another layer of complexity to this extraordinary Cabernet Sauvignon. You will also have the chance to taste the latest vintage of Don Melchor Cabernet Sauvignon.

Your final experience will be the wondrous sight of the Don Melchor Collection Room, where every vintage from 1987 is stored and you can buy your own Chilean icon. This is not just one of the best wine in Chile, but a reference for Cabernet Sauvignon around the world.
