Clos Apalta Lapostolle

Reviewed By 557jj

We visited this winery as part of our tour with Colchagua Wine Tours. We had a tour and tasting. The best thing about this winery are the views from the rooftop (make sure you stop at the rooftop after your tour to take some more photos without crowds) and the wine tasting room. The winery itself felt a bit corporate and did not have as much as a local history and connection to the community as some of the other wineries we visited. The wine was good and some of the reds were a bit on the dry side - still good wine, just making you aware. It's also a smaller winery.

My family and me went to that Park several times. Have nice areas with great views, and the chance to take contact with the natural and pristine Andean forest and fauna. Have places for camp, barbecue and have clean restrooms.

Vina Montes

Reviewed By ptesche - Guelph, Canada

Leo was our fine host here. We were told that feng shui played a large role in the design of the winery and it is evident with the strict attention to every detail. Montes produces world class red and, to a lesser extent, white wines. This is worth a visit even if you are not a wine connoisseur just to admire the building and it rooms. The barrel room even features recordings of a Gregorian choir believed to benefit the maturation of the wine. The tasting featured ample pours of four wines.

Playa Punta de Lobos

Reviewed By SophiaK - Athens, Greece

Driving from Colchagua valley we drove through vineyards and thick forests of pine and eucalyptus trees passing some small villages along the way and street vendors selling strawberries, water melons and other summer fruits. Pichilemu was packed with traffic and it took us approximately 30 minutes to get through. But Punta de lobos really paid us off. The spot has an amazing view, unbelievable cliffs with various birds flying around, the waves crushing on the rocks, the sandy beach full of people (although it was a bitty chilly) and the surfers in a constant “fight” with the waves. Although it was an overcast day one could only imagine how much more beautiful this place would be on a sunny day!
