Hi. For this 3rd set of images from my recent trip to Chile, I am sharing some images of Concha Y Toro Winery. This is the largest wine company of latin america and one of the global leaders in its field. It was founded in 1883 by Don Melchor de Santiago Concha y Toro.
Their most known wine (not the best nor the more expensive, though) is "Casillero del Diablo" (something like "Devil's cellar") and its origin is an interesting story. Don Melchor, after beginning the winery, started to save the best bottles for his own collection, in a furniture located in one of the winery cellars. Soon, some employess found that out and some bottles begin to disappear. Then, Don Melchor spread the news that the Devil itself was living in that cellar, haunting the place, and then the bottles did not disappear anymore! Legend or not, it is a nice story and it gives name to an internationally known wine. The company offers a 60 minutes guided tour, at a cost of CHL 9.000 (~20 USD). You can taste 3 wines: A) - "Trio", B) - "Série Rivera - Gan Reserva" and C) - "Terrunyo" and the glass cup is a compliment. Enough talking, here are some pictures I took during the tour. C&C welcomed, as always. Thanks for viewing.

2 - Concha Y Toro House
3 - Winery fields
4 - The place we would, minutes later, taste the wines. I liked the light and the glasses here. But first we got down to visit the cellars!
5 - Partial view of the cellars
6 - The Devil (probably drunk, with so many "Casillero del Diablo" at hands).
7 - and, eventually, the wines!
