Dona Josefa de Elqui - Pisco Artesanal

Traditional cellars used for the elaboration of pisco

Reviewed By chiaralqc - Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Loved this distillery, we were given a tour by the owner in English without any prior reservation and it was just perfect. Started with a taster pisco sour, then the tour, then the tastings of the pisco itself. Really special place, can tell that the family really care for what they do.

Small winery where all wines are bottled by hand. Staff is lovely and they give a free tour of their place where you can also taste some of their wine before you buy them. Great experience!

Catedral De San Bartolome De La Serena

Reviewed By midwaytoheaven - Midway, United States

The exterior of this moderate Cathedral is currently in the midst of having its exterior restored, Even with that happening, we loved stopping here on a Sunday to take a quick look of the interior. It is not over-the-top like many European Cathedrals but is more simple, yet beautiful. It features many gorgeous stained glass windows. BOTTOM LINE: This church is easy to find because it is located directly across the street from the main city plaza, Plaza de Armas. The construction began on this church in 1844 and dedicated twelve years later. The massive front doors are amazing. The Cathedral is named after San Bartolome who is the patron saint of La Serena. MY RATING: 8/10

Pisquera Aba Oficial

Boutique company that produces pisco since 1921 in the Elqui Valley. Crafted from hand harvested muscat grapes of great aromatic quality. Each end of summer, the fruit is first turned into wine to be distilled in ancient copper still pots in a double distillation process. After 12 to 24 months of maturation, the spirit is blended with ultra pure water to adjust alcoholic strength to 40% in a step

We only had to wait a few minutes for an English speaking guide, who was funny and informative. I too, enjoy a smaller operation vs the large commercial ones, and we quickly learned the steps in making pisco. He answered all our questions easily. The tasting at the end surprised us that we liked the lowest end pisco for its smoothness, vs the barrel aged Fuegos. We really enjoyed the cocktails with mango and ?macai berry, so much so, that we bought a small bottle of each pre-made cocktail.

We walked from Vicuña and were offered a tour within 30 minutes in English or Spanish. We paid for the Capel tour (4000 pesos) and were really surprised by its great value. It included a 45 minute tour, 2 piscos to taste and a free glass. We really enjoyed our tour with Rafaela. She was very informed and taught us a lot about Pisco. We definitely recommend a visit.
