Recognized as "The Most Admired Wine Brand in the World", the Concha y Toro vineyard is situated just an hour from Santiago, in the town of Pirque. The tour kicks off at the historic Casa Patronal, which is more than a century old. Founded in 1883 at the end of the 19th century, when winemaking was emerging in Chile, it was established by Chilean politician and entrepreneur Don Melchor Concha y Toro. He imported noble French grape varieties from the Bordeaux region and planted them in Pirque, in the Maipo Valley. Additionally, he enlisted the renowned French winemaker Monsieur Labouchere to craft his wines. This visionary move led to the founding of Viña Concha y Toro over 130 years ago. Today, it stands as the leading wine exporter in Latin America and a significant global brand, present in more than 135 countries.
