On this trip we followed our passion for the red luxury – wine. We travelled the vineyards of Chile and Argentina, explored the street art of Valparaiso, drank great wine and ate delicious food.
If you like wine and good food, this video is for you. We show you which vineyards we picked, why we chose them and how we traveled them.
Chile:
Concha y Torro: A beautiful estate with probably the best waiter we had in a long time. As we were used to poor service in Chile, this was kind of a surprise to us
Santa Rita: There we learned that one of their main grape Carménère was believed to be extinct worldwide. But it has survived in Chile thanks to its four natural borders – the Andes, the ocean, the Atacama Desert and the Antarctic. But it took more than a hundred years to realize that, as the Chilean Carménère was confused with Merlot.
Casa del Bosque: Has one of the best restaurants we’ve been to. The food, the wine and the service are simply outstanding.
Indomita: A white castle like building high up above a gigantic vineyard with a marvelous view over the valley and some of the best wines to taste!
Emiliana: The service wasn’t really good and the wine nothing that stayed in our minds, but they had Alpacas in the garden and it is difficult to compete against that.
Argentina:
Ojo de Agua: This vineyard is owned by Dieter Meier, a Swiss musician and entrepreneur. He is also the owner of our favorite restaurant in Zurich, the Bärengasse. The vineyard was probably the most beautiful we’ve been to during our entire time in Chile and Argentina. There were that many grapes, that we couldn’t see the end of the estate while enjoying our delicious lunch. The three-course menu with matching wines was absolutely outstanding.
Templus Alba, Viña de Cera and Mevi: On our second day in Mendoza we decided to combine wine and sports. We rented some bikes in Maipú and biked to those three vineyards. It was a great idea but we hadn’t expected the sun to be that hot – who would have thought so in mid-summer. We lost quite some sweat but fortunately we could balance this with wine.
Los Toneles: It is more a wine production facility than a vineyard but probably the nicest one we have seen so far. The tasting was delicious and their cheese platter enormous. Afterwards we had an outstanding dinner at their restaurant Abrasado where we received one of the most delicious pieces of dried aged filet we had ever tasted.
