La Caravedo Distillery Tour

Pisco is one of Peru's main drinks. We'll learn how it's made in this visit to the distillery La Caravedo, where you'll also enjoy a tasting of this national drink.

Tour Details

We'll meet at the time of your choice at the entrance of Hacienda La Caravedo, starting the guided tour of one of the oldest distilleries in Latin America, established in 1634.

The tour begins with a visit to the cultivation area, where you'll see different Pisco vines and their eight varieties: Quebranta, Acholado, Torontel, Albilla, Moscatel, Mollar, Italia, and Negra Criolla.
