Viña Santa Berta

Reviving a Century-Old Heritage Viña Santa Berta stands as a testament to the preservation of Chilean viticultural history. Rescued and meticulously restored by the Errázuriz Domínguez family, this historic estate in San Nicolás, Ñuble, centers around an original winery building dating back to 1900. The family’s mission was to create a seamless harmony between cutting-edge modern winemaking technologies and the timeless charm of traditional architecture. Every structure on the property has been restored following the authentic colonial Chilean style, paying deep respect to the architectural heritage of the Itata Valley. Beyond the cellars, the estate is framed by breathtaking gardens and sprawling parks that weave through the winery, offering visitors a serene and aesthetically stunning landscape. This unique setting, where history meets nature, provides an elegant and refined backdrop for world-class wine tourism and unforgettable private events. Vineyards at the Gateway to the Itata Valley Situated in the heart of Southern Chile, just 8 kilometers from the city of Chillán, Viña Santa Berta serves as a gateway to the prestigious Itata Valley. The estate’s vineyards are strategically distributed across two distinct terraces, each possessing unique geological and climatic characteristics that create a specialized terroir for every vine. One of the defining features of the Millapel estate is its remarkable thermal oscillation, which can vary by as much as 23 degrees Celsius. This dramatic temperature swing between day and night slows the ripening process, intensifying the aromas and flavors of the grapes. This exceptional climate allows for the successful cultivation of a diverse range of varieties. Currently, Viña Santa Berta proudly produces high-quality Merlot, Pinot Noir, Malbec, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, and Pinot Gris, among others. A Global Leader in Sustainability and Ethics For Viña Santa Berta, winemaking is inseparable from social and environmental responsibility. The winery operates with a deep commitment to sustainability, seeking a perfect balance between its employees, the environment, and the local community. In 2016, the estate made history by becoming the first and only winery in the Itata Valley to achieve Fair Trade certification, joining an elite group of only ten wineries in all of Chile to hold this prestigious title. This certification is a promise to uphold ten fundamental principles of labor and process quality.
