So another day in Chile has gone by, and to be honest I have lost track of what day of the week it is. I pay attention now to how many days I have been here rather than what day of the week it is i.e. I flew in on Saturday and after the jetlag settled Sunday started as the official day 1 of my Chilean Wine Country Adventure.
On day 3 I had the honour to visit the below wineries and I've also noted some of my winery highlights (for pictures of my day click on the link below):
VIA Wines
- Met a fantastic female Winemaker
- Indulged in a great Chilean lunch
- Stood inside a fabulous and beautiful blossom blue coloured wine country style home with a roaring fire inside
- purchased some great olive oil made right here in Chile
J.Bouchon Wines
- Arrived at the family run country winery and took a mid afternoon horseback ride through the vineyards in my poncho (this was AWESOME btw)
- Tasted through the J. Bouchon wine lineup (they have a great Cab Sauv for under $10 - look for the J.Bouchon Blue Label at the LCBO)
- Ate a great dinner (which included hare and of course some great wines)
- Enjoyed an outdoor country fire
- spent time relaxing in a large barrel hot tub (this was cool!)
- Stayed the night at Bouchon
