Viña Casas Del Bosque

With absolutely no planning whatsoever, Mari Clare, Tamlyn and I hopped on a bus heading towards the town of Casablanca on Friday.  The drive only took about 30 minutes, and before we knew it we were there...sort of.  The bus dropped us off in the heart of town so we then had to take a taxi to the vineyards.  Casas del Bosque was the closest one to the town, so we figured we would try it out.  
This is the outside of the restaurant.    






For the tasting, a tour guide brought us into a separate room where he explained the different wines to us.  First we sampled their award winning Sauvignon Blanc, then their Carménère, and finally their Syrah.  The Syrah was my favorite! 







This is the view looking out from the restaurant.  You can see some of the grapevines in the distance. 



We had a great time tasting some amazing wines.  I can't wait to go back!  There are over a dozen other wineries in the area, and I am determined to try at least half of them.
