La Caravedo Distillery Tour

  • 20 reviews | 228 travellers
    We really enjoyed this tour. At the beginning the guide was very rushed, but after the first few minutes he was more relaxed. The tour of the distillery was very interesting and the piscos tasting was very tasty. The only detail was that they didn't give us the screen-printed glass mentioned in the description (we booked the premium tasting). When I asked about it, they told me that it was no longer included and had been replaced by a chilcano, but when I checked the description I saw that it was also included.

La Caravedo Distillery Tour

We'll meet at the time of your choice at the entrance of Hacienda La Caravedo, where we'll start the guided tour of one of the oldest distilleries in Latin America. Did you know that its origins date back to 1634?

We'll start the tour of La Caravedo by visiting the cultivation area. There we'll see the different Pisco vines, where we'll distinguish its eight varieties: Quebranta, Acholado, Torontel, Albilla, Moscatel, Mollar, Italia and Negra Criolla.

We'll then visit the original facilities dating back to 1684. The wine press, the press and the falcas are particularly noteworthy. All this machinery was indispensable for making pisco in a completely artisanal way. Today, the La Caravedo distillery is one of the most modern in Peru.

At the end of the guided tour, we'll enjoy a pisco tasting, which will vary depending on the type of tour you book.

When you make your reservation, you can choose one of the following three types of tastings. Regardless of the option you choose, children from 5 to 12 years old will always have a juice and a biscuit.
