Chile celebrates its Bicentennial

This year 2010, Chile commemorates its Bicentennial: a celebration of 200 years living as a Republic. Two centuries since the beginning of the Independence process, launched by the realization of the First National Governing Broad, on September 18th, 1810.

The celebration includes several cultural activities, such as the traditional Army and Navy Parades, musical galas, marching and floats, and the famous "Ramadas", where people gather to share typical Chilean meals and delicious wines.

The Bicentennial is an important date, a reason to celebrate what we have achieved as a nation in these 200 years. It´s a great opportunity to be proud of who we are.

Viña San Pedro greets all Chileans in this Bicentennial. Viva Chile!

In the beginning Viña San Pedro helped pioneer an industry that put Chile on the map.

Later San Pedro helped drive innovation and the search for unique styles and quality terroirs from the extreme north in the Elqui Valley to the deep south of the Bio Bio Valley. In more recent years San Pedro helped establish Chile as a strong, diverse New World producer well-known for over-delivering across a range of price points.

In 2008 San Pedro, a wine group with various labels in its portfolio, merged with Viña Tarapaca / Southern Wine Group to form Viña San Pedro Tarapacá Wine Group or VSPT Wine Group. Today VSPT Wine Group is the third largest wine group in Chile, and the second exporter of Chilean wine.

The wines of San Pedro are enjoyed each and every day by wine-lovers in more than 80 countries all around the world. Labels include: Cabo de Hornos, 1865 Single Vineyard, Castillo de Molina, 35° South and Gato Negro. San Pedro’s global brands enjoy vibrant success in the most competitive markets, due to the variety, quality and consistency of its wines and distributor partnerships that both stem from an understanding of the wine trade 150 years in the making.
