We will have old wines, diverse grape varieties, special classes and a relaxed atmosphere where everyone is welcome to experience what we are: a coastal cold climate vineyard with unique character", says Marilú Marín, founder and winemaker of Casa Marín.
Three reasons not to miss it
1. A brilliant present
Casa Marín is celebrating a year full of awards: its sparkling wine was voted the best in Chile and its entire wine list has received high scores from international experts. This vintage is a way of thanking and sharing this success with its community.
2. A promising harvest
The new vintage 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most outstanding of the last decade, with healthy, balanced grapes and great character. It is an ideal time to discover what is to come, straight from the source.
3. A great family legacy
This year marks 17 years since Casa Marín's first vintage. A path of effort, terroir and pioneering vision, which transformed Lo Abarca into an appellation of origin and Casa Marín into an icon of Chilean cold climate wine.
Wines that tell stories
During the day, attendees will be able to taste Casa Marín's full range of coastal wines - from a fresh Pinot Noir to an elegant, oak-aged Sauvignon Blanc - as well as participate in vertical tastings that cover different vintages and tell the story of the evolution of each grape variety.
As a novelty, this version will feature a guest Argentinean winery: Durigutti Family Winemakers, run by the Durigutti brothers, renowned for their exceptional wines. Héctor Durigutti will participate with an exclusive masterclass together with Marilú and Felipe Marín.
Gastronomy, art and entertainment
The party will be accompanied by a selection of gastronomic offerings including seafood, lamb al palo, pizzas, empanadas, and more. Children will be able to create their own wine labels in creative workshops while adults enjoy music, cocktails and views of the vineyard.
A vineyard with its own Denomination of Origin
Casa Marín is the only winery in Chile with Designation of Origin since 2018. A recognition that validates its commitment to the coastal terroir of Lo Abarca and its pioneering vision in the world of wine.
"We are going to have old wines of different varieties, we will also have a very diverse gastronomy, special spaces for children so that they can have a good time and integrate in an active way. For example, they will be able to paint their own wine label so that their parents can take a personalised bottle home. The important thing here is to relax, here you can taste our entire range of grape varieties, because we want them to get to know our wines and become part of what we want to show as a coastal cold climate winery, that we are a pioneering winery and I want people to enjoy and get to know and have a good time, because we will have different recreational spaces. It will be very entertaining, we will have many surprises and novelties in this 2025 version", concludes Marilú Marín.
