COLCHAGUA VALLEY STAYING AT LAPOSTOLLE RESIDENCE
Approximately 150 kms (93 miles) south of the capital city, Santiago, Colchagua is truly blessed when it comes to producing red wines. Warm and naturally dry, but with an abundant water supply from the Tinguiririca River, Colchagua is a narrow agricultural valley that begins at the foot of the Andes and extends west to the Pacific Ocean.
COLCHAGUA VALLEY STAYING AT LAPOSTOLLE RESIDENCE
The approximately 910,000 hectares (2,250 acres) in between offer many different microclimates, soil types, steep hillsides ideal for vineyards, and a growing number of wineries that are perfectly able to make excellent Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, and many good Carmenère and Malbec wines. Here we will find one of the finest boutique hotels in the country: Casa Lapostolle, belonging to the vineyard of the same name. Casa Lapostolle, the family-owned producer of premium Chilean wine, celebrated the opening of its striking state-of-the art gravity-fed Winery & Lapostolle Residence, dedicated solely to the production of its
flagship wine Clos Apalta. Direct transfer from this hotel to Santiago Airport the next day.
