When you think “wine vacation,” Colombia, not surprisingly, probably doesn’t come to mind. South America has some world-class vineyards in Argentina and Chile, but Colombia has never made those those lists. Nevertheless, Colombia boasts two (maybe three…still waiting for confirmation that the third one is working), wineries that, while not top-of-the-line producers, are decent and very interesting to visit, especially for the wine enthusiast. Colombian wines are interesting to me because (1) Colombian wine is only found in Colombia; and (2) the grapes are grown at a very high altitude in the Andes mountains – unique in the commercial grape growing world. In any case, once I heard about “Colombian wineries,” I knew that I had to hit a vineyard on my trip!
