WINE & WILDLIFE - FROM VINEYARDS TO STEPPES

Patagonia may not be the first place you think to travel to in May, June, July or August, but if you are looking for an amazing adventure this summer and would relish some time away from summer’s heat, we invite you to this exclusive itinerary to Chile, where culture, history, nature, and sustainability come together to offer an unforgettable experience.

You can enjoy the winemaking tradition of central Chile, with tastings of the best wines from Matetic Vineyard and the charm of a colonial-style country house. La Casona is an early-1900s countryside estate, with ten exclusive rooms designed in an elegant and sophisticated colonial style. Its rich history, combined with careful and modern renovation, ensures personalized and excellent service. Here, you can savor world-class gastronomy at Restaurant Equilibrio, explore vineyards through guided tours, and immerse yourself in organic and biodynamic farming with tastings of Matetic wines.

Then, explore the winter beauty of Patagonia, where the immensity of the landscape and the estancia culture await with unforgettable experiences. Estancia Cerro Guido is nestled in the vast Chilean Patagonia, near Paines del Torres National Park. You will step into a unique setting of over 100,000 hectares that has preserved its historic identity, blending ranching traditions with innovative conservation efforts. It is a biological corridor home to the world’s highest concentration of pumas and where you can learn about the efforts of the Cerro Guido Conservation Foundation to balance ranching and wildlife.

Malawi is a country of stunning landscapes, expansive golden beaches, the continent's second largest lake filled with over 800 cichlid species, friendly local communities, and conservation successes that have returned national parks to thriving wildlife havens. And it's now visa Free! The government recently announced ending of tourist visas for 79 countries including the USA. With plentiful flight connections from neighboring countries including South Africa and Zambia, it's never been easier to access this unconventional and underestimated beach and safari holiday destination.

Happy Lunar New Year! According to the 3,000 year old Chinese Zodiac, the year of the wood dragon begins with the new moon, commencing a year influenced by the power of the dragon and nurturing essence of wood which encourages everyone to explore, stay open minded, and follow our curiosity. What a lovely theme for 2024. Photo courtesy of Sydney Opera House, which is lit red, the auspicious color of energy and prosperity, in celebration of the new year.

Did you know today is international pisco sour day? In honor of Chile and Peru's dueling national drink (who are we to question the holiday), we're sharing a recipe for Chilean pisco. Add some egg whites if you're feeling Peruvian or take on a signature personalization with some Johnny Walker Black, like our host did at our camp in Torres del Paine National Park. Pisco is for everybody and is best enjoyed while savoring spectacular scenery or after adventures in the outdoors! How do you like to make yours?

This evening marks the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. The longest night of the year has long been a time to celebrate the imminent return of the sun for cultures across the world. The ancient Neolithic monument of Stonehenge, which we love to visit with a local expert guide, was constructed to align with the sun's path where archaeologists find evidence of feasts and gatherings for the solstice. Today, we see traditions remaining from the Japanese custom of soaking in a hot bath with citrus fruit, the Chinese belief in the transition from yin energy to yang energy, and the Iranian celebration of rebirth, called Yalda. Many say this is the time of year to plant seeds of intention in preparation for the germination of springtime. So, we wish you a peaceful winter solstice and take comfort in the hope of light to come.
