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 your chosen time at the entrance of Hacienda La Caravedo to start the guided tour of one of the oldest distilleries in Latin America, with origins dating back to 1634.

The tour starts in the cultivation area, where you can see the eight varieties of Pisco vines: Quebranta, Acholado, Torontel, Albilla, Moscatel, Mollar, Italia, and Negra Criolla.

Next, we'll visit the original facilities from 1684, including the wine press and falcas, which were essential for artisanal pisco making. Today, La Caravedo distillery is one of the most modern in Peru.

At the end of the guided tour, we will enjoy a pisco tasting, which will vary based on the tour type you choose.
