Cepas de mi Abuelo is a small, family-run hotel with its own Singani distillery in the garden. The owner, Manuel, is a retired Bolivian pilot who now spends his time on their organic vineyards with his herd of 50 goats which work the land.
Viñas Vargas is a family enterprise which started over a decade ago with the production of table grapes in Santa Cruz Bolivia. Today, the Vargas family produces a small portfolio of wine and Singani for the domestic market- the stars of which are their Vargas Cabernet Sauvignon and Moscato Singani.
Bodega Tierra Roja winery in Villa Abecia in Bolivia’s Cinti Valley was founded by the young late Bolivian winemaker, Cristian Villamor, who was passionate about producing signature high altitude wines. He tragically died at age 37, but his family continue making wine in his honour and manage the vineyards organically and biodynamically.
‘Don Cristian’ is one of the special lines of wine dedicated to the founder and features Criolla grape varieties, including a delicious Vischoqueña – a variety that Cristian was extremely keen to share with wine lovers. Mariana Paez from Argentina is the consultant winemaker today.
Just like vines intertwine, winemakers Ernesto Magnus Vásquez and Liz Arancibia Zambrana’s paths crossed which gave birth to Magnus winery in the Tarija valley of Bolivia.
If you visit this winery, you will be able to discover how the family traditions dating back to 1928 are harmonised with modern technology. The winemakers are especially committed to producing natural wines with minimal intervention.
