Viña San Serafín

The winery

Viña San Serafín is a family venture in Melozal Sur, in the municipality of San Javier, within the Loncomilla Valley. The winery presents itself as a family business of signature wines that loves the dry-farmed country, and the municipal listing of San Javier Creativo speaks of a trade handed down from generation to generation. Neither the starting year nor the planted area is published. Its labels name Juan José Chávez as the producer.

It makes white and red wines, dry and sweet, in two main lines: San Serafín, with País, a blend of País and Carménère, and Semillón, and Venuste, with País, Carménère, a blend of both grapes, Semillón and rosé. The Venuste Carmenere received a gold medal at the Catad'Or World Wine Awards in 2024, with its 2022 vintage, and in 2025, with its 2024 vintage, according to the certificates the winery displays. The other side of its work lies in the copper stills: from there come the wine spirit and the Flaco Chávez brandy, and the D'Origen and Doña Meche lines, with liqueurs in flavors such as cinnamon, mango, raspberry, walnut and loquat.

The tasting room and shop is a rough-timber building beside Route L-32, at kilometer 20.7. The municipal listing offers a tasting of wines and liqueurs at CLP 12,000 and wines for sale from CLP 5,000, all year round and with no booking needed, and Google Maps shows it open every day from 8:00 to 20:30. Those prices come from a listing dated April 2025, and the winery's last Instagram post is from November 2025, so confirm by WhatsApp at +56 9 8407 3718 before going. No restaurant, accommodation or online shop is published. The winery also usually shows its wines at the San Javier fairs, such as Cultura y Vino and the Fiesta del Vino de Loncomilla.
