Adventure Details
Pisco is Peru's national spirit and the sunny Ica valley is its historical cradle: Pisco grapes have been grown here since the 16th century. On the Pisco Route you will discover this heritage guided by local producers.
We visit a combination of renowned industrial wineries and family-run artisanal bodegas that still use grape-stomping presses, colonial-era stills, and clay jars (botijas), with the whole process explained from vine to glass.
At each stop you will enjoy guided tastings of different Pisco varieties (Quebranta, Italia, Acholado), plus sweet wines, cachina, and traditional mistelas from Ica.
