For three days, 19 wineries from the region will present their finest offerings, from iconic wines to high-end labels, reflecting the prestige that Colchagua<\/strong> has built on an international level. Tastings will also be accompanied by sommeliers, while guest chefs will propose pairings designed to enhance the valley's identity.<\/p>\n

The artistic programme \u2014 featuring jazz, blues, ballads, and folk \u2014 will aim to maintain an elegant and intimate atmosphere, complemented by a lounge area, covered sections, and a point of sale for wine tourism experiences that will allow visitors to extend their stay beyond the main square.<\/p>\n
