Vivanco is much more than a winery; it is Foundation Vivanco whose goal is to gather and share what makes Wine Culture. This mission is accomplished especially through the Wine Culture Museum; a 13,000 square feet space retracing the 8000 years of wine history, engineering, and art. Vivanco received the 2017 National Prize of Gastronomy, in the Special Category for the Family and Foundation Vivanco.
Vivanco combines traditions and modernity. The old winery stands next to the museum, the restaurant, and Vivanco offices/documentation center. Those facilities are part of a recent building shaped in modern architecture lines with many windows to have a wide view on the vineyards from the inside.
The tasting offered during the tours includes the tasting of two wines. At the Wine Corner the varietals Vivanco grows are presented. Depending on the tasting option chosen, 4 to 6 wines are presented for tasting.

Hi there we would like to make a reservation for a tour and tasting on June 26. Is there an English tour that day? Best, Sheri
Hi Sheri, we’re checking with Vivanco as to when there would be an English tour on that day. We’ll let you know when we find out but I would contact the winery directly as well.
