Tacama is famous as one of the oldest vineyards in South America. The land on which the vineyard is standing in today’s time was taken over after a fierce battle by the Quechua people of Peru. The Inca rulers managed it before the Spaniards arrived and captured the vast property from them. Even today, the entire vineyard is irrigated with the help of a 15th-century water canal that was built by the Inca people. The canal is known as the Achirana del Inca. It is one of the best traditions that is followed in this vineyard.
Inside the Tacama vineyard, you can come across different sections that have been dedicated for various purposes. There is a 100-year-old huapango wine press that was used to extract the juice from grapes to make different products like wines, sparkling wines, and piscos. The location is special and unique because it is situated around the upper part of the Valley of Inca. From here, you can get a clear view of the entire Andes Mountains landscape.
Another fantastic feature of this exceptional property in Tacama is the prominent and beautiful architecture. It is still one of the few remaining places where you can check out the old Peruvian Hacienda style elements being used to create a building. Typical components include - arches, stables, patio, avenue of trees, and a lot more. Hundreds of acres of land are spread in the backyard of the building where you can spend the entire day witnessing how wine is made.
