Viña Undurraga

The winery

Viña Undurraga was born in 1885 at Fundo Santa Ana, in Talagante, under Francisco Undurraga Vicuña, who years earlier had brought Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Riesling and Gewürztraminer plants from France and Germany. Around 1890 he began the park that visitors walk through today, the work of the French landscape architect George Henri Dubois, who also designed Santiago's Parque Forestal. The winery says that in 1903 it became the first Chilean producer to export to the United States. Today it is part of Undurraga Wine Group, owned by José Yuraszeck and the Colombian investors Mauricio and Daniel Picciotto. In 2024 it bought VFC Wines and, with it, the Bouchon and Bisquertt brands. Bisquertt offers no experiences of its own and its wines are sold in Undurraga's online store. The J. Bouchon labels are sold there too, but they should not be confused with the Bouchon family's vineyards, winery and hotel in Mingre, in the Maule, which the family kept and which have their own profile. The group also owns Volcanes de Chile, with its Reserva, Tectonia, Parinacota and Ígneo lines: it shares this address and does not open for visits on its own.

It works estates in the Maipo Valley (Santa Ana, with just over 55 hectares planted, and Codigua, in Melipilla, with 204), in Leyda (Lomas de Leyda, 169) and in the Maule (Cauquenes, 146, and San Cayetano, still being planted); in all it declares close to 1,200 hectares of land. It makes wine in two cellars: the main one at Santa Ana and another in Quinta de Tilcoco, in the O'Higgins Region, with no published visits. The winemaking team is led by Rafael Urrejola. The icon wine is Altazor, a Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend from Alto Maipo; it is followed by Extinto, a Carménère from the Cachapoal, Red Field Blend, from vineyards over 60 years old, Trama, a Pinot Noir from San Antonio, Founder's Collection and a Carignan from the Vigno association. The T.H. (Terroir Hunter) line explores small terroirs along the length of Chile, Sibaris and Aliwen fill the gran reserva and reserva segments, and the house has made sparkling wines since 1975, among them Titillum. At the International Wine Challenge 2026, Extinto 2024 and T.H. Syrah Leyda 2024 won trophies. Since 2016 it has taken part in the Wines of Chile Sustainability Code.

Visits take place at Santa Ana, at kilometer 34 of the Camino a Melipilla, about 45 minutes from Santiago; you can also get to Talagante by bus from the Terminal San Borja. Bookings are made online through Tourpay and there are three options. The Tour Sibaris, 75 minutes, covers the park, the Aliwen corner devoted to the Mapuche worldview, the vineyard and the underground cellars, and ends with three reserva wines. The Tour Founders, 90 minutes, follows a similar route and closes with four premium wines, cheeses and nuts. The picnic for two is enjoyed in the park, with sparkling wine and a 375 cc bottle of red, and does not include a tour. The wine shop opens every day from 10:00 to 17:30, with the full range, export overstock and souvenirs, and the estate runs a café with coffee, cakes and sandwiches. The park also hosts weddings and corporate events, with a marquee area for 500 seated guests, quoted through eventos@gvp.cl. No restaurant open to the public or accommodation is published.
