Wines of Chile (WOC) –Vinos de Chile in Spanish- is a non-profit, private organization of Chilean wine producers dedicated to promoting the quality and image of Chilean wines. It is the oldest such organization in the New World, formed in 1949 through the merger of two groups. These days WOC thinks globally. With offices in the United States, Canada, China, the United Kingdom, Brazil, and Chile, and working closely with ProChile, the country’s government trade commission, WOC develops and offers promotional and educational programs for its members. Activities include lobbying, research and development, worker assistance, and serving as a network hub for associates.

Chile’s dedication to sustainability and innovation has inspired the country to create the wine world’s first-ever Sustainability Codes. The code creates a standard for local wineries to produce responsibly and protect the environment and the community all 365 days of the year.
During the walk around tasting private guests will have the opportunity to meet the winemakers from 20 of Chile's leading wineries, as well as taste over 50 different wines that best represent the region and sustainability code.
