It is a mystery to a good meal and a good red wine softens the soul and the heart is sincere, therefore at a moderate dosage, the wine is part of our way of being. Thus, in our journey to rescue the culinary values \u200b\u200bof our Chilean identity, peasant farmer interviewed by Don Fabian Mora, brother of Mrs. Juanita Fuentes, who told us the importance of grape country, product of which depend a great number of small farmers in the area.

This strain came to Chile and the Jesuits area around 1700 and was used for Masses. This a grape is highly resistant to weather, pest and produces a wine of tradition, durable, lightweight and low color. The wine produced from grapes country is also used to increase the amount of certain wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon. Currently farmers tired of the ups and downs of prices they sell their crops to large companies and some have even changed vines by pines, therefore its culture has been lost.

interesting thing are the products produced by the grape country, which are related to the tradition, histories and ways of living life in the countryside. One of these products are chicha and syrup linked to the culinary theme and related rural tourism development the wine.
