Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 329 reviews
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.

The "other museum" across town wasn't letting us in (even though it was dead quiet), so we strolled over to see this little one in central Vicuna. We "dropped a dollar" in the cup and gawked, squirmed and giggled at the interesting collection of insects, fossils, and models in this great museum. Definitely worth a visit that won't last an hour, just on the corner of the main square ('plaza de armas') in little, old Vicuna.
