The winery

Viña Borde Lago sits on the north shore of Lago Rapel, in the Santa Clarisa area of the municipality of Las Cabras, about 35 km from the town itself. Its story begins in 1993, when the family bought a plot beside the lake as a place to relax. Over the years that weekend retreat became a wine project that now brings the family together, and the winery presents itself as the lake's first boutique producer.

The property totals 8 hectares, 2.5 of them planted on well-drained sandy loam soils. The blocks are small and worked by hand; the winery describes its management as organic, with no pesticides or chemicals, though it publishes no certification. It grows Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Carménère, Syrah, Pinot Noir, Petit Syrah, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Chardonnay, and produces more than 12,000 bottles a year. The wines spend 9 to 18 months in barrel and rest another 12 in the cellar before going on sale. Alongside the Borde Lago line are the Badulaque Malbec and blends such as Revoltoso, Carménère Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon Syrah. At Catad'Or 2025 the Petite Sirah Gran Reserva 2024 was chosen Best Entrepreneur Wine; the house also reports a Grand Gold Medal for that wine and a Gold Medal for its Badulaque Malbec 2024.

Visits are scheduled in advance by WhatsApp or through the contact form. Thursday to Sunday there is a beginners' tour of an hour and a half, in which you learn to taste by trying three wines with cheeses and nuts. Friday to Sunday, between 11:30 and 18:00, the owners lead two longer tours through the vineyard, the “Casa en el Aire” central lookout and the coastal lookout: the Tour Borde Lago - Rapel, with up to four wines and a cheese and charcuterie board, and Experiencias y Sabores del Lago, which adds a welcome glass of Late Harvest and up to five wines, one of them served straight from the barrel. The winery's listing on Enoturismo Chile adds kayaking and boat trips from September to February, when the lake allows, as well as accommodation, a hot tub and catering for events; since the official website gives no details, ask when booking. Pets are allowed. The wines can also be bought in the online store, in packs of 2 or 6 bottles with shipping throughout Chile.
