About this Winery

The origins of Viña Casa Donoso date back to 1989, when a group of foreign businessmen are delighted with “Fundo La Oriental” a historic “domaine” in the heart of Maule Valley, in the seventh region of Chile. Over the years, the size of the winery has doubled, as other terroirs have been added in the region of San Javier, in the same Maule Valley but slightly south of the original estate. Expansion also included San Vicente estate, 472 hectares in the northern part of the valley. Currently, the winery covers an overall surface of 710 hectares.
