VIK CHILE – A Wine Destination in Itself!

If you love wine, art, nature and incredibly great food, VIK Retreats are one of a kind and a destination within themselves! Vik Chile is located just over two hours outside of Santiago in the Millahue area of the Chilean Central Valley.
Besides being a wonderful place to start or finish an itinerary in Chile, VIK is making some of Chile’s very best wine and the winery is absolutely state of the art and stunning! With some wonderful friends of ours we started our trip to Chile and Argentina with a visit to VIK CHILE and had the most marvelous time!

So much fun to be there with the wine maker, Christian Vallejo while he unveiled Vik’s first scrumptious Rose. On the left is a picture of my friend Maripat and I, with Christian…

…and on the right a similar picture of the three of us at the High Wine Auction in Atlanta just a year prior!

I was initially introduced to VIK Retreats when I had the opportunity to visit their over the top ranch and beach properties in Uruguay a few years ago in the chic town of Jose Ignacio near Punta del Este.
