Casa Lapostolle
Colchagua Valley
Casa Lapostolle has for a long time now produced some of the best red wines as part of their Cuvee Alexander range, from their beautifully positioned vineyards in the Colchagua Valley.
Now you can go and stay there in one of four stunning cabins built on the valley wall. Each cabin is completely secluded from each other allowing you an indisturbed view across the valley. The cabins consist of one main room with a massive bed, an open fire and a seating area which opens out onto a private balcony.
There is a huge walk-in wardrobe and a massive bathroom. The cabins are reached by golf car from the main house where there is a dining room for all guests, an infinity pool and asado as well as a great sun deck, the perfect place for that gin and tonic at the end of the day. Tasting rooms, and of course tastings, are available to guests as well.
The winery itself is on the same site and can be accessed via a corkscrew staircase that goes six floors down into the bedrock (it is deep enough for a pendulum to show the rotation of the earth), and below that are the two further floors of the private cellar of the French owner.
This is a truly top class place to stay and although you will not find staff dressed in suits or wearing white gloves you will find that they are incredibly knowledgeable about wine and very attentive to your requirements.
