The VIK
winery is one of the most important wine projects in the world
at this time. With major foreign investment and innovative vineyard
techniques, they will attempt nothing short of making Chile’s
first 100-point wine. On a plot of 4,300 hectares - where modernity
and the latest technology are fused with the oldest traditions
of oenology - an A-team of winemakers is working diligently
to produce Chile's top wine.
Only with
Santiago Adventures will you be one of the first to know VIK
and experience the excitement of watching a world class wine
being born. Hear first hand from the winemakers about their
passion for this project, taste the first year vintage with
them from the barrel and spend the night in their exclusive
guest house overlooking the magnificent property.

Under
the direction of Chilean-French wine maker Patrick Valette
the VIK team performed an extensive analysis of no less than 6,000
soil samples identifying 12 distinct terroirs within six different
valleys on their property. Each varietal will be grafted to one
of six rootstocks and planted at a density of 7,000 plants per
hectare. At double the normal vineyard density in Chile it was
necessary to import special machinery to manage the vineyards. |

Arrival and Visting the Vineyards - Our tour begins
with a late morning departure from your hotel in Santiago to
arrive at the Vik property in the Cachapoal Valley by mid day.
Upon arrival,
you will be met by the winery lodge host to plan the afternoon
activities visiting the vineyard property by bike, horseback
or 4x4. After a tour through the vineyards you'll sit down to
a picnic lunch with a fantastic view over the VIK estate.
Wine
tasting - After your visit to the vineyards you will
arrive to the modern yet small winery. The real winery is still
on the drawing board and for now, as the project is still in
the early stages, the improvised barrel cellar is where the
select 2009 vintage is ageing under careful watch. It is here
that you will make a barrel tasting of the the first VIK wines.
This wine represents four years of hard work building a a new
vineyard in Chile and you'll be one of the first to try this
soon to be famous Chilean wine.
