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.

What a place! Extremely nice and such clear skies to watch the stars and the galaxies! Awesome! We enjoyed mountain-biking and some walk in the valley. The small village of Alcohuaz is highly recommended and as wine you must taste Rhu! Unique.

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.
