Nana Gets Her Drink On

Visiting Viña Concha y Toro was one of my favorite experiences in Chile
so, of course, I had to take my mom & nana there when they came to visit!To be quite honest, the title of this post is a big fat lie because my nanadoesn't drink, like AT ALL! She loved the tour, though, and do not fret -- no wine was wasted in the making of this blog post! Hehehe cough*mom drank it all*cough

 













Our tour was a little fancier than the one I went on with my school -- we had a private sommelier give us a lesson about wine and we alsoreceived a platter of cheeses, nuts, and crackers so that we could learnhow to pair wine with certain foods. While it was a fun experience,I didn't really enjoy the wine. The white wine was delicious, but I am a big fan of red wine and their vino tinto just didn't do it for me...The cheeses were yummy though! Ask my nana :)

Red, Red Wine

Yesterday I had the opportunity to visit a beautiful vineyard with my program.

 

The viña we visited is called Concha y Toro. Not only is it the largest producer of wines in Latin America, it also happens to be one ofthe most well-known wine brands in the world. Ooh lala...

 

These grapes were so delicious...I actually asked our tour guide if they sold them in the souvenir shop hahaha.They didn't, but he did pick a handful for me to eat!



 
 

 

The next shot is of me and my small group (one of eight in the program),which is led by a Chilean student (pink tank top). She is amazing and secretly speaks perfect english so I feel like a complete idiot every time I have to talk to her in my broken spanish haha.


Anyway, I can't wait to take my mom and my nana here when they come visit me in March!!!!
