DESCRIPTION: Get ready to explore Chile, one of the largest and most geographically diverse countries in the world when it comes to wine! In the last few decades, Chile has begun transitioning its wine industry from bulk wine to high-quality stunners, including remarkable Cabernet Sauvignon and fresh, rich Carménère. We'll start by exploring the largest city in Chile, Santiago, and learning about Chile's long history of winemaking dating back to Spanish colonists. Next, I'll go on a food crawl in the Barrio Italia neighborhood of Santiago with my friend Phillippe to try some classic Chilean dishes and drinks, including the country's famous cocktail, a Pisco Sour. Next, we'll visit San Pedro (one of the country's oldest wineries) before heading to VIK, a luxurious modern winery and hotel unlike anything I've ever seen. We'll also learn about Chilean wine grapes (which are mostly red), including the country's famous Carménère. I'll then take my first-ever horse ride up and down the Andes mountains - how fun! While our first two wineries of the trip were in the Cachapoal Valley, we'll next go to the Colchagua Valley to visit Montes in the Apata region. Montes is a family-owned winery, and winemaker Aurelio Montes talks me through how his father helped pioneer high-quality upscale wines in Chile before we drink a few of their famous wines, including "Purple Angel" and then have lunch at Francis Mallmann's restaurant Fuegos de Apalta. We then say goodbye to our guest house, Casa Ishi, before going to our last winery of the trip, Leyda. Since these wines are made near the coast and influenced by the Pacific Ocean, we take a boat (rented from my friend Tomas and Sail & Wines Chile) to experience the terroir and taste Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir with winemaker Viviana Navarrete. Last but not least, we go back to Santiago, where I meet my friend Luis for an Asado, or barbeque, at Infiltrados restaurant, paired with Forajidos wines. At the end of the episode, I look out into the ocean and reflect on just how far Chilean wines have come in the last few decades and how excited I am for the future of this beautiful wine country.

OK
Excellent and valuable information!
as a chilean this is probably the best showcase of the different aspects of our wines, terroir and culture. you captured everything beautifully. outstanding work.
Wow, thank you!!!
The views of Chile in this video are absolutely breathtaking. It makes me want to move to chile
It’s a beautiful place!
You are more than welcome out here in Chile, just to let you know by the beginning of march our wineries are holding " la fiesta de la vendimia ( vintage festival) that's when you may visit the Casablanca valley or the Colchagua valley to be part of our beautiful traditions.
amazing work, Chile's tourism agency should be paying you!!! looks like paradise.
It's a magnificent country!
I'm a Chilean wine enthusiast who has lived in the US for a while. Every time I talk about Chile and its wines is hard to explain the complex structure of geography and climate.
This episode is outstanding! I'm new here on this channel, but now is one of my favorite ones!. Surely I will share this video in my next conversations with local folks about Chile and its wonderful wines. Thanks.
Thank you, so happy to have you on board!
The is one of the finest pieces of wine journalism/storytelling produced today. Vince, incredible work, and you clearly have assembled a great team of experts. The quality really shows. 👏
Thank you Ben, my crew is awesome and helps us make a great product!
This was in my recommended videos and I don't even like wine. A spectacular production. I hope you had a great time in our country.
It was wonderful, thank you for welcoming me!
While I am not a fan of Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon, I would kill for the Sauvignon Blanc! The wines there are absolutely amazing, and Chile is on my bucket list for travel.
You should try chilean Carmenère. It's made from a lost type of grape that was re-discovered in Chile a couple of decades ago.
@@deathstroke8612 I bought a bottle a couple of months ago and plan to try it soon!
@@vegasrenie hope you enjoy it!
This is a poem in video.
🥲Thank you!
I love Chilean Carménere wines.
Lots of very good wines from other grape varieties but Chilean Carménere is outstanding.
Agreed!
Yes is My favorite too ❤i'm chilean 😅
I loved how proud all of them were about their wines. It tells a lot about the passion and how involved they are in the process.
Yes, I agree 100%!
Who else watches these episodes with Google Maps open?
you must go to Itata Valley, it is nothing to do with central valley in Chile, small producers, humble people, with gobelet bush and varieties with 300 years ago.
As a Chilean living in Chile. After I watch it, i want to visit it!
And I don't even drink wine!
😂😂
También 😂
Chile has deserved for long such a beautiful episode with V and his crew !
It was overdue for sure!
Welcome to all lovers of good wine, Chile greets you and gives you a warm welcome.... This video is a masterpiece, Chile is beautiful and magical.. There are few parts of the world that can give you such a sublime experience , the wine routes in Chile are fantastic, culture and gastronomy. They are the perfect fusion to experience the flavors of a good wine.... Thank you for this beautiful work, today it will go to my library of good documentaries.... I am sure that if you come to know this beautiful country, you will have anecdotes and emotions to tell your loved ones.... A hug and gratitude from this humble lover of good wine 🍷...
Thank you so much! I’m honored to have visited!
Such a well-produced episode! Especially exciting since not many of these regions in South America aren't too well documented online. Way to go Vince and the production team!
Agreed, I hope this opens some people's eyes to how wonderful South America is!
Que hermoso vídeo ❤️ saludos desde Curicó, Chile 🇨🇱 donde se produce el mejor vino de Chile 🍷
I hope to come back and spend some time in Curicó!
Me ha encantado este programa. Siempre me han encantado los vinos de Chile y ahora entiendo mucho mejor el porqué son muy distintos a los vinos Europeos. Gracias por un excelente programa. Voy a planear un viaje a Chile!
I work in the industry, I do the D.O certification on wines and it’s truly amazing to see this beautiful video, while I work all digital data of the valleys and specification of the wines you show the real stuff of this industry. Keep it up 🇨🇱
Thank you so much! The work you do is SO important for wine regions, thank you for doing it!
Amazing Chile 🇨🇱 I love this country 🙌🏼🙌🏼
V is Vino is among the best wine content available anywhere!
Thank you!
We absolutely enjoyed watching this video ❤ Never thought Chile was such a beautiful country, on the bucket list now. Thank you for this 🍷
Great video! It beautifully showcases the people, places, and weather that contribute to the uniqueness of Chilean wine. Gone are the days when Chilean wine was solely associated with Casillero del Diablo. It's wonderful to see how new winemakers are bringing fresh perspectives, diversity, and uniqueness to the scene.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And agree, Chile has come a long way!
In the last shoot, you are doing the same of the ancestral people does, blessing the pachamama, mother earth, with a little of de best wine.
Congrats from Santiago, nice job
Thank you so much!!
Loved the show Vince. Opened my eyes to Chilean wines and Chilean culture. Beautifully shot and enjoyed all the info. Well done to you all.
Thank you!
Best channel for wine enthusiasts! Hidden gem on YT.
Fantastic episode! I lived in Chile when I was much younger (and not drinking wine), and I desperately want to return!
I'm Chilean, living abroad, and it always amazes me to find Chilean wine in the countries I've visited, especially in Asia. Chile exports a lot to Asia. I always go for Carmenere, but it's been a bit challenging to find a good Carmenere. Many of the bottles I've bought have cork taint.
Hi bro, carmenere in Chile, is really cheap, you'll find it in a supermarket, from 3 U$, and plus
one of the best documentaries I have seen related to wine, modern, entertaining and educational. It reminds me a lot of Anthony Burdain's documentaries. It's the first one I've seen but I'll see them all. They also got a new client for those brands. incredible!
But with a big difference, Burdain was a depress guy
Thanks so much, happy to have you on board!
Words can’t begin to describe this amazing video. I remember when you started V is for Vino. You have come so far and the production quality is out of this world. I literally felt like I was on this journey with you! Bravo to you and your team! Amazing!
Thank you, so happy to have you along for the ride!
Soy Chileno! Great information, I have watched most of your videos. I really enjoyed them. Like you, I'm a Somm. I shared this particular video of Chile to many that once called me " Mister Chile."
Keep the videos coming!
Honored we did the country justice, coming from a Chilean himself! Thank you!
I ❤CHILE !!
What an amazing episode! It made me want to travel to Chile amd explore this beautiful wine country ❤
Can't avoid to smile with the "zorron" of viña san pedro
🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant video, Vince! I absolutely love Las Brisas so it was great to see where it´s from. Chile generally makes such brilliant wines and still offers amazing value at every price point!
Agreed!!
this video makes me more proud to be a chilean. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have a wonderful country!
Chile 🇨🇱 es el Cuarto exportador mundial de Vinos, dentro del top 3 en calidad y el único cabernet que iguala al francés !
Viva chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱 y faltan solo 5 meses para celebrar nuestro mes patrio!!! Tikitikitiiiii
Ya me está dando sed!!! Tikitikitiiii
Also, as Chileans we're really spoiled. We're so used to have great cheap wines, or wines in general in our tables that we fail to be thankfull of how fortunate we're
You really are quite spoiled, I agree!
Love this video! So interesting and makes me want to hop on a plane to Chile 🇨🇱 now! Love the content…. the quality of cinematography is stellar! I also love how educational all of the videos are!
Our crew is awesome. We're lucky to have them!
Fantastic show. Thank you very much. Chile is now on my list
I hope you visit!
Love the line “it’s a reminder that your screen saver is better in real life” ❤
It's true!
Wow, this is quite a product. You write beautifully and the production value of this video is good enough for prime time television. I've subscribed and I hope that many more follow suit. Interestingly, what stood out to me most was the kindness and passion of the Chilean people. This is a place that I really would consider visiting, as much for the wine as the people who make it. Purple Angel is always a bottle that I've wanted to try but the price tag deters me. Maybe I'll have to splurge one of these days.
Thank you so much! I agree, the Chilean people really are spectacular. Splurge one day on Purple Angel, it's worth it!
Immensely enjoyable. Makes me want to travel to Chile and get to know the people and region myself. You are an inspiration!
Muchas gracias! Eres bienvenido por siempre! 🎉
An absolutely fantastic episode! Sooo good! I have learned more from you and your channel than any other, by far! Thanks so much! 👏👏👏
So glad we're helping!
Amen to that
I'm new to wine coming from the specialty coffee world as a hobbyist. I'm so glad to have found a great wine channel on YT. Thank you for producing such an informative and enjoyable documentary series. It's been very helpful and enjoyable even for a newbie like me.
Thanks for watching; funny, I'm just getting into coffee now!
Great show. The Chilean spoiled you a lot...you got to drink all the premium wines fromSan Pedro, Leyda, Vik and Montes.
I've never had the most premium stuff from Montes (and his most affordable wines have never sit well with my palate), but I've had Sideral and some wines from VIk and Leyda. I feel like revisiting them after this show.
This year I had the experience of riding a horse for the first time - on the strenght of my daughter incessantly asking - and had the same reaction. Horse riding kicks ass!
I've been to Chile 13 years ago, way before I've become interested in wine, and I still remember the freezing cold breezes in Viña del Mar.
We did indeed get spoiled. haha and yes, the horse was amazing!
Excellent job showing the vineyards and people of my country....👍
This is amazing, thank you for touring us around the world of wine!
Of course!
Such a great episode!!❤ Let’s go to Chile as a group 😁🤗
The place I dream to visit 😍
La semana pasada fui a una fiesta de la vendimia en Cauquenes, una maravilla!!
Excelente video ✌️✌️✌️✌️
watching this while I'm drinking a "relatively cheap wine glass", cheers
I thank you for this episode. I am chilean and I was very much touch by the way you showed part of my country.
Thank you, honored you think so!
Amazing, love Chile
Great video learned about wines and about the great food and beautiful country of Chile
to really understand the quality of chilean wine you have to try the cheaper ones that every chilean drinks usually
An incredible show! Cheers from Ukraine!
Cheers!
Slava Ukraini! Cheers from Chile!
So glad you're exploring south America
Gracias desde españa ❤❤❤
Each episode just gets better and better. Your shows make me not just want to explore new wines but also to travel more. Thank you and your crew the beautiful way you present your travels and adventures.
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching I hope you get to visit, it’s a great country!
What a great show. Sometimes we don´t appreciate what we have in Chile. Congrats.
Thank you very much!
Really enjoyed this video and all of the details. I've been saying that I need to give Chilean wine more attention and this helps clarify my point.
Yes, they are awesome wines!
what you see here is the premium end mostly, however there are a lot of wines in the middle that are fantastic price/quality wise from the likes of de martino, laberinto and even traditional winemakers like cousiño macul. worth exploring if you ever visit.
@@bcccl569 Appreciate all of the thoughts as they will help me immensely.
excellent program about Chilean wines! I loved! 🇨🇱🍷
Una joya este documental...
I love this episode about Chilean Wines. Bravo Baby Vinny !
hahaha
Beautiful video, greetings from Ovalle-Chile!!
41:00 amo ver a la gente disfrutando mi país ❤ hermoso video
Excellent old chap. The cinematography was right up there. That last shot of the dribbling wine glass tells me you guys a beyond everything. Salut Craig
Was a fun shot to design!
Hermoso reportaje, Chile y su naturaleza que es grandiosa. Hemos disfrutado muchos años nuestros vinos, era hora que el resto del mundo también lo hiciera
Gracias!
Amazing video from my lovely Chile. Thanks ❤🇨🇱
Thank you for watching!
A marvellous episode seducing each one of the senses! I shall specifically seek out a Chilean vin now. Thank you for this vibrant foray into Chile ❤
Thanks for watching!
Congrats, Vince and team. This may be your best episode yet. I just looked up Purple Angel on Vivino.... it's a bit of stretch for me price-wise, but maybe I splurge just this once! 😆
It's worth the splurge!
Amazing content in this video! Love all the vineyards you visited. As always I learned so much about Chile. Thanks Vince❤
You're welcome!
What a fantastic episode Vincent, you really showcased these incredible wines!
And what can you say about those beautiful sights, stunning country, cant wait to visit.
The Purple Angel is one of my favourites wines, its a fantastic blend, a truly angelic wine if there's such a thing, talk about great quality and value for money!
Kudos to V is for Vino and the entire team, you guys did a fantastic job!
I hope you get to go, such a great place!
