Central Chile Wine Region Composite of Five Photos

After sinking into a cushioned lawn chair with the sun warming my face, I took my first sip of a Carménère. It’s a deep red wine with 19th century French origins but now predominately grown in Chile. It is delightful. This introduction occurred in the Casablanca Valley. The Andes and coastal mountains provide a cool, humid climate that is ideal for whites. The Casa del Bosque winery is located half way along Route 68, well named for the scenic 68 miles between Santiago and Valparaíso. Also consider visiting Concha y Toro, Latin America’s largest wine producer. Both wineries offer cellar tours, tastings and gourmet food among lush vineyards and romantic settings. For wine lovers, it is the perfect afternoon.
