Viña Errázuriz was chosen as “Best Chilean Winery” in the “Extraordinary Winery Awards 2017” by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, the most influential North American wine publication, whose awards ceremony took place in New York, within the framework of the launch of the Michelin Guide 2018. In 2023 Viña Errázuriz was recognized as one of the 50 best wineries in the world at the World Best Vineyards awards, resulting from votes by experts who travel around the world seeking out the most exceptional vineyards with world-class wine, infrastructure and experience.
Flaherty winery Aconcagua blends dates to 2004, when we made two barrels each of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah from the Manzur Vineyard just outside San Felipe. As a small, boutique winery, we have chosen to make red blends to create complexity and consistent quality by working with several different varieties.

Ed Flaherty and Jen Hoover are two Californians who arrived in Chile in 1993 to work in a harvest and then decided to settle in the Aconcagua Valley. This valley has an exceptional climate for growing grapes, producing red wines with soft tannins and intense fruit aromas. In 2004 Ed and Jen began the “Flaherty Wines” adventure as a boutique winery producing their red blends. From the first harvest of 1,200 bottles, the winery grew and managed to produce 40,000 bottles in 2015. You’ll be able to enjoy a tour of the winery and taste two of their best wines.
