About Pisco Elqui
Pisco Elqui, a village in the Elqui Valley of northern Chile, is ringed by vineyards and desert mountains, with distilleries and clear night skies.
Pisco Elqui lies high in the Elqui Valley, in Chile's Coquimbo region, at the end of a road that climbs inland from La Serena and Vicuña. The village was called La Unión until 1936, when it took the name of the spirit made from the valley's grapes. Muscat vines cover the valley floor and climb terraces up barren brown slopes, and small distilleries in and around the village offer tours and tastings.
