Discover the exquisite winemaking
tradition of Peru on this exciting tour of the most fascinating wineries in
Ica!
From the moment we pick you up at
your hotel or the bus station, you`ll embark on an amazing journey. We`ll
begin our adventure at the iconic artisanal winery, El Catador, a historic gem
founded in 1856. Get ready to step back in time as we explore the centennial
secrets of wine and pisco production, a tradition that dates back to the 16th
century! And don`t worry, the tasting of their delicious pisco, the Peruvian
grape-based brandy, will be an unparalleled experience.
Pisco, an exclusive designation of
origin from Peru, and produced only along the coast, has its roots in the
arrival of the Spanish conquest. Initially planted to produce wine, these
grapes gave way to the wonderful spirits we love today.
Our journey continues with a visit
to the astonishing Bodega Museo Lazo, a treasure founded in 1809 by the Donayre
Bolívar family. Here, history comes to life in a captivating rustic museum,
where artifacts from different cultures, such as ceramics, ancient mantles,
weapons, and paintings, will enchant your senses. And, of course, a tasting of
their selected wines and piscos will take you to savor the richness of history
in every sip!
But that`s not all; our tour will
take us to one of the oldest vineyards in South America, the majestic Hacienda
Tacama, founded in 1540 by the Spanish visionary Francisco de Carabantes. Over
the years, this place has perfected its art, blending foreign grapes with local
tradition to create wines, piscos, and sparkling wines of unparalleled quality.
A tasting of various products awaits you, awakening your senses and making you
appreciate the art of wine at its finest.
When the exciting journey comes to
an end, we`ll take you back to your hotel or the bus station in Ica, ensuring
you take with you unforgettable memories and a deeper appreciation for the
wonderful world of Peruvian wines and piscos.
