One of the largest and oldest wineries in Chile, Undurraga has an impressive portfolio of wines ranging from the interesting Terroir Hunter series focusing on location-specific wines from around Chile, through to their sparkling wines for which they are one of the leaders in Chile.
Although they source grapes from the entire length of Chile, you’ll find their winery in Maipo – just an hour outside of Santiago. Founded in 1885 by Francisco Undurraga, the winery has a beautiful historic garden outside with large and impressive trees that were planted over a hundred years ago. The winery itself is more modern, keeping up with the high demand for their wines and sparkling wines which are popular in Chile and exported around the world.

About Viña Undurraga
One of Chile’s great historic estates, Undurraga was founded in 1885 by Don Francisco Undurraga Vicuña and has grown over time to become one of Chile’s leading producers today. Don Francisco planted his vineyards with grapevines he brought from Europe, particularly from the Rhin in Germany and Bordeaux in France, and also brought oak barrels from Bosnia and the US. In 1903, Viña Undurraga became the first winery to export to the US and was able to sell its Pinot Noir in all 45 states at the time.
