Welcome to Hacienda Araucano.
Chile is a paradise for vines, thanks to the absence of disease and its stable, cool climate.
Although they had been producing Chilean wines since 1992, it was not until 2000 that François Lurton and his brother Jacques found the perfect spot in the Colchagua Valley. They bought 200 hectares there, bringing together land from seven different owners in the same family, in an area that had never before been used for winegrowing.
Today, the estate has 28 hectares of vines in Lolol, which has become a sought-after location for wine production.
Located on the «Ruta del Vino» in a beautiful setting, we are developing wine tourism at the estate to welcome the growing number of wine lovers visiting the Colchagua Valley.
