on-site restaurant overlooking
the full size polo feld where
professionals and many
members of the Silva family
frequently practice and compete.
Over at the Viña Casa Silva’s
huaso rodeo stadium, a stone’s
throw from the polo feld, the
Silva family hosts regular
community gatherings and rodeo
demonstrations, an outdoor
tradition where friends, family
and neighbors can commiserate
and relax. The winery even
has its own team, “Corral Doña
Dominga” that competes at the
national level with outstanding
results.
More than just a winery, Viña
Casa Silva is an experience
that represents the spirit of
Chile’s oldest traditions. Amid
a countryside of vineyards kept
warm by the day’s sunlight and
cool by the evening’s coastal
breeze, the Huaso still looks
after the heartland for which he
represents. A destination for
wine lovers and horse lovers
alike, Viña Casa Silva continues
to honor the spirit of Chile, one
bottle of wine at a time. For
