Viña San Lorenzo

The winery

Viña San Lorenzo is a small family project in the village of Rere, in the municipality of Yumbel, in the dry-farmed interior of the Biobío Region. It is run by Pamela Zambrano, the fifth generation of a family that has made wine on the same old-vine property; according to records cited by the South America Wine Guide, the first vines were planted in 1767. In 2022 it was one of the six founding wineries of Sur Natural, the association of small natural-wine producers from Itata and Biobío created with support from Corfo, together with Zaranda, Tinto de Rulo, Viña de Neira, Doña Luisa and Gustavo Riffo.

The winery works some three hectares of País, the historic grape of the southern dry lands, and makes it naturally in the two styles that are traditional in the area, dry and sweet. In 2022 it was making four wines, two reds and two rosés; among them the Rosé Fermentado, a light, dry rosé under 10% alcohol. At its most recent fair stands it has shown the San Lorenzo Rosé, labeled as a heritage País wine, the rosé Lolita and the red Regidor, along with artisanal liqueurs in small bottles.

The winery receives visitors for tours and tastings by appointment, and the South America Wine Guide highlights its wooden terrace overlooking the old vines. According to the Cartografía Vitivinícola del Biobío (2025), the property now also has a swimming pool, a camping area and a hot tub for those after a day in the country. It publishes no prices or hours: arrangements are made by phone at +56 9 5373 0444, by email or by direct message to its Instagram, @vinos_sanlorenzo. It has no online store or known distributors; its bottles turn up at local fairs and festivals, such as the Estofado de San Juan in Rere, where it was in June 2026, and you can ask about buying direct.
