Since colonial times, Ica has been known for its fertile land dedicated to wine production, as these spirits competed with those from the Iberian Peninsula in the 17th century. The Spanish banned the importation of Peruvian wines. Thus, the vineyard owners decided to dedicate themselves to the production of a distilled grape beverage, which we Peruvians know as pisco.
Since the Ica Valley is located 300 km south of Lima, it has a long winemaking tradition, home to the best wineries in the country. It is undoubtedly one of the best tourist attractions not only for its spirits but also because it has a warm, dry climate year-round, with an average temperature of 25°C. This makes it stand out for its unbeatable weather.
If visitors are looking to explore the Ica Valley Wine Route and taste various wines, visit the Ica Valley Wine Route. The Ica Valley is the best tourist destination for this adventure. Both foreign and domestic tourists can enjoy this beautiful southern land with the necessary safety, as Ica includes several hotels, vineyards, and wineries known for producing different varieties of the drink of the gods.
But if you're looking for a place to rest, one of the best options is the Hotel Viñas Queirolo, which boasts spacious, comfortable, fresh, and carefully decorated rooms. You'll also be in contact with nature through the beautiful vineyards. You can enjoy a wine and pisco tasting, and with a sommelier's guided tour, you'll learn about the production and manufacturing process, from the vineyard to the bottling plant.
If you're definitely looking for some sun, stay at the hotel. You can shed your jackets and pants to put on your best swimwear and take a dip in the pool, which will allow you to cool off from the intense heat. We recommend enjoying the magnificent bar, which offers a variety of spirits and cocktails. You should definitely try the pisco sours and chilcanos.
At dusk, the delight of all attendees begins with a wine and piscos tasting, both Intipalka and Queirolo wines. Let yourself be carried away by the wealth of flavors and textures, and settle in the exclusive area with armchairs and fireplaces to enjoy all the drinks you can imagine, even better in good company.
