The history of Peruvian Pisco was written very close to the city of Lima, in the ancient port of Pisco. Its deserts were the first to host Spanish vines, and thanks to the unique climate, grapes adapted to the salinity, dryness, and heat of this region, giving rise to authentic Peruvian varieties. Near the city of Ica, grape vineyards have remained productive over time, being the birthplace of the finest piscos and wines. In artisanal houses, one can witness the process of making this exquisite grape brandy. We will visit various homes and estates to gain in-depth knowledge of techniques and flavors. Hacienda Viñas Queirolo is one of the most traditional places where superb gastronomy blends with Peruvian pisco and wine.
