Vik · Millahue, Chile
Por The 50 Discovery ·
A wilderness festival: Set across 4,300 hectares in Chile's Millahue Valley, VIK is one of the world's most unique wineries. A visionary blend of wine, architecture, landscape and luxury, the winery has always placed innovation and science at the centre of everything it does. After a two-year search to find the optimum place to make wines, Alex and Carrie Vik settled on this corner of the Cachapoal Valley in 2004. Millahue is also known as the 'golden place' by the native Mapuche people and Alex and Carrie's most immediate concern was how to make the highest quality wines without disturbing this pristine natural environment. They eventually collaborated with architect Similjan Radic to create a state-of-the-art winery but one which blended in with its untamed surroundings. This commitment to the environment is continued in the viticultural practices and the fact that most of its 4,300 hectares are a nature reserve for native flora and fauna.
