Description
Trip Itinerary: First Stop: Tacama, Av. Camino Real 390, Ica 11000, Peru We will begin the tour with a visit to the oldest winery in South America, currently known as “Hacienda Tacama,” which uses premium grapes to produce its wines, pisco, and sparkling wines. At the same time, you will be invited to tastings of the various products at each of the wineries. Important Note: On Mondays, Hacienda Tacama is closed, so the visit to Tacama will be replaced by a visit to Hacienda Vista Alegre (which is of the same caliber as Tacama).
