Almaviva is a prestigious winery located in Puente Alto, in Chile's Maipo Valley. Established in 1997 as a joint venture between France's Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Chile's Viña Concha y Toro, it was founded with the goal of creating a world-class wine that blends French tradition with Chilean terroir.
The winery's name, "Almaviva," is inspired by Count Almaviva from Beaumarchais' play The Marriage of Figaro, symbolizing the fusion of two cultures. The modern winery, designed by Chilean architect Martín Hurtado, incorporates local materials and modern architectural elements, reflecting the natural beauty of the Andes.
