Morandé

This winery—about an hour-and-a-half drive west of Santiago—was founded by Pablo Morandé, who was a pioneer in the Casablanca Valley. Morandé was the first to see the valley's vast potential for whites, Pinot Noirs, and cool-climate Syrahs. The winery has a newly built wine tasting salon and a shop selling wines from all around the region (even those not made by Morandé), as well as gifts, books, gourmet food products, and wine-related accessories. Their restaurant, House (Ruta 68, km. 61, Casablanca; 56 32 275 4701), is outstanding and offers a wine-pairing menu.
