Santiago, Chile: Viña Lapostolle and Viña Vik in Colchagua Valley. Today, during our private excursion, we will visit Lapostolle Vineyard in the Colchagua Valley. The tour will start in the reception room, and then we will go down the building to the fermentation room with the vats, the storage of the barrels in the first and second year rooms, in order to follow in detail the process that the grapes take through gravity to its end as the iconic wine of Lapostolle: “Clos Apalta.” The visit culminates in a tasting of three current wines each of Lapostolle’s lines; Casa, Cuvee Alexandre and Clos Apalta. Afterwards we will tour the Viña Vik.

The winery is a great structure that is mostly buried in the middle of the land that surrounds it, to obtain significant energy savings and limited visual impact, leaving the vineyard as the main character of the landscape. Walking through the winery, you will understand the distinguishing needs of each one of the steps in the wine production process. Return to Santiago after lunch.
