Chilean wines have a well-earned reputation and are considered one of the best in the world. The history of Chilean wine dates back to the arrival of the Spanish (1541 - 1554). It is said that the wine entered through the Captaincy General of Chile and the first planting of vines for wine was made in 1948 in La Serena.

Chilean wines are divided into three main categories: denomination of origin wines, non-denominational wines, and table wines. Chilean wines are made with an interesting variety of grapes, with the Carménère as the flagship strain, since it became extinct in Europe last century. But in Chile you will find formidable strains of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. In Chilean red wines, strains such as Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Malbec and Pinot Noir stand out, in addition to those mentioned above. And in white wines we find Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.
