Now Viewing: Veramonte Alto de Casablanca Estate Winery
The winery at Veramonte is a state-of-the-art, modern winemaking facility designed by one of Chile's foremost leading architects, Jorge Swinburn. Opened in 1998, the winery includes the latest technology in bottling lines, gravity-fed fermentors and ultra-modern stainless steel tanks. It is also designed for small-lot winemaking, allowing separate fermentation and aging of individual vineyard blocks and experimental vineyard plots. When guests enter the winery they are welcomed to the "Casona," a breathtaking room with a soaring rotunda, ceilings and glass walls which reveal the barrel caves below. Tours and tastings including pairings with Veramonte wines and local cheeses, or artisan Chocolates, are available seven days a week. Veramonte, which translates to “Edge of the Mountain,” is located in the remote Casablanca Valley alongside Chile’s rugged Pacific Coast. The wild Patagonia lies to our south and the mighty Andes Mountains rise behind us in the east. In this distant winemakers’ paradise are nestled 1,000 acres of grape vines among 10,000 acres of wild land that Veramonte has preserved as a natural greenbelt.
