Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle, great-granddaughter of the creator of Grand Marnier, has chosen to develop the project Viña Lapostolle in Chile. The gravitational winery and Lapostolle Residence are nestled in the hills, with spectacular views of the Colchagua Valley. This unique setting, marked by a respect for nature, a cutting-edge design and a taste for quality, invites you to experience Lapostolle. A dedicated team of chefs prepares a special menu for each wine, with fresh produce that enhances the flavors of Chile, using organic vegetables from our garden and seasonal products of the highest quality. Awakening to the sounds of nature, yoga classes, biking through the vineyards and trekking the trails of our native forests are a good complement to the activities linked to wine, beginning with a visit and private tasting in our winery.
Awasi, in the north of Chile, is a stunning spot, majestic in its beauty and hidden away in the immense Atacama Desert, the most arid place on earth. San Pedro de Atacama, a heavenly oasis, was built in this magnificent setting which bears silent witness to the different civilisations which inhabited these lands. This is a spectacular landscape of cordilleras, salt marshes, lagoons and volcanoes moulded over thousands of years and home to flora and fauna of frequently unique species, capped by an intense turquoise sky. Awasi, a tiny hotel in the heart of an old town in harmony with the local culture and environment, offers the traveller privacy, comfort, and a choice of personalised experiences and excursions in four-wheel drives with private guides – this is unlike anything you can find in the whole of South America.
The Cliffs Preserve is a tribute to the awe-inspiring Chilean Patagonia.

Healthy produce comes straight from the resort’s organic farm.
