October 2011.- VSPT Wine Group had the pleasure of receiving 6 Brazilian journalists and inviting them to a magical outing through the most relevant vitivinicultural valleys in Chile, where, together with a VSPT team, they were able to discover the secrets kept by our winemakers and the vineyards that give origin to our wines. Throughout this journey, they tasted wines from our 7 wineries in Chile and got to know some typical Chilean culinary traditions.
Our guests were: Cris Couto, editor in chief of “Wine Style” magazine; Jorge Carrara, columnist of “Folha de Sao Paulo” newspaper and journalist specialized in wine, in addition to being a collaborator of “Prazeres da Mesa” magazine and a jury in several international wine competitions; Maurice Bibas, gastronomy and winemaking consultant, and professor of oenology; José María Santana, editor of “GOSTO” magazine and one of the two book authors of “Comida e Vinho – Harmonizaçao Essencial”; Cesar Adames, collaborator of “Prazeres da Mesa”, “Robb Report”, “Cozinha Profissional” magazines and of “Jornal Vinho & Cia.” website;And finally, Zoraida Lobato Viotti, editor/partner of “Market Press”, which is edited, among other publications, by “Vinho Magazine”, and producer of different events around wine like Expovinis, Wine Weekend, etc.
Unforgettable moments of this visit were:

– A Horseback ride and picnic at Viña San Pedro
– A Presentation and pairing exercise at Santa Helena
– The Tasting at Misiones de Rengo
– A Spectacular barbeque and scenery at Altaïr

The perfect finale was a workshop dinner at Veronica Blackburn’s premises, where she cooked together with our guests and winemakers Ana María Cumsille, Marco Puyo and Ed Flaherty.
