Lugarejo means a hidden hamlet and this boutique winery is hidden away between Santa Cruz and Nancagua in Colchagua. The charming Lugarejo winery is the passion project of husband and wife Fernando and Elina who have a 4,500 bottle production of red wines from different vineyards in Peralillo, Paradones and their own ‘garden vineyard’ in San Gregorio.
Each year they hand harvest, hand crush and hand bottle their wines with their children, friends and family. You can visit for a tasting of their artisan wines and to see their wine production from vine to bottle. Personally attended by Elina or Fernando, all visitors are welcome in this child-friendly home.
