Grapes have for a very long time stood out as the
most common cash crop in Chile. Many people have commercialized its growth
because the crop can produce one of the tasty wines in the world. Grape wine is
a common product for sale in many shops across the country and you are most
likely to get a bottle or two in the shelves of every shop you visit. It is
therefore good that you take some time to sample this type of wine any time you
are visiting Chile.
In case you are planning to visit the country and
very keen on having a taste of the wine, you are good to go between the months
of February and May since this is the time the crop is largely grown. This is
the time when grape farmers are very busy in Chile and you will have the
advantage of getting the best wine taste at affordable prices. This is
obviously due to the fact that supply is high and prices are low.
You can travel in other months but be prepared to
pay high for grape wine since it’s only produced by small scale farmers. There
are many wineries across the country with each offering its customers a special
way to celebrate. You cannot miss out that special moment if you are touring
Chile. Make sure you have sampled the type of grape wine all the wineries have
on sale before settling for the right one.
It will offer you the opportunity to choose the one
with the most affordable price tag. If you are lucky to be around the harvest
time, it will be merry throughout since there are many harvest fests organized
full of traditional activities. Mingling with local people will help you
understand the Chilean culture very well so don’t miss the opportunity.
It will be a good chance for you to learn more about
the many types of foods Chilean people take, some of the cultural practices as
well as themes for their social events. Public tasting for grape wine is
organized all through the year and it is wise you make inquiries on that when
visiting Chile.
