Ed Flaherty and Jen Hoover are two Californians who came to Chile in 1993 to work a harvest and then never left. The country has an exceptional climate for winegrowing, producing ripe fruit with smooth tannins and intense primary fruit flavors. Boutique wineries are on the rise in Chile. In the last ten years, however, smaller projects have been gaining foothold and developing a following in the local market. Flaherty Wines is one of the founding members of the Independent Vintners’ Movement (MOVI), a trade organization for small owner-involved wine projects. The Flaherty winery is located in the estate house of an old hacienda (or fundo, as they are called in Chile) once known as Fundo El Magnolio, after the giant magnolia trees growing in the park. The post-colonial adobe house is over a hundred years old and retains much of its original architectural style.

Don Maximiano Errázuriz founded Viña Errázuriz in 1870. With his great vision for the future and his innovative, pioneering spirit, he planted the first French grape varieties in the Aconcagua Valley. His initiative and creativity were handed down to future generations and, in just over a century, his descendants consolidated the winery and positioned their wines among the world’s most noteworthy. The winery was built as a two-storey structure. The excavation and construction of its huge cellar rooms alone took five years. The thick underground walls, built with bricks and mortar (a kind of cement made of egg whites and sand), have stood the test of time and have allowed the wine to be kept there in large casks made of raulí (a native Chilean tree) at a constant temperature of 12 to 14º C. The tour begins by discussing the history of Viña Errázuriz and its importance in the development of the Wine Industry at National and International levels. Guests will visit the underground cellars and the vineyards, covering topics such as viticulture, weather conditions, and management of the different grape varieties. Guests also visit the new Icon Winery and learn about the sustainability based design as well as the details of its operation to produce the icon wines of Viña Errázuriz. The tour is completed with a tasting of 3 wines in our Icon Bodega tasting room; one Max Reserva wine, one Aconcagua Costa wine, and our Don Maximiano premium wine.
