Ica, Cañete, Moquegua and Tacna: wineries and tastings to add a wine-focused stop to your trip to Peru.
Travel local, live responsibly — no filters, no intermediaries
A stop in Ica, Cañete or Moquegua and Tacna can break up the trip with tastings, local cuisine and a slower pace.
Wine tourism works especially well between two nature-focused regions or as the closing stop of the itinerary.
Among the best-known areas are Ica, close to Lima and historically linked to Peru's great reds, Cañete, well known for its location between the capital and the coast, and Moquegua and Tacna, highly valued for more complete experiences combining wineries, rural landscapes and boutique properties.
Each region has a different character. Some are perfect for a day visit, while others deserve at least one overnight stay to fully enjoy the tastings, food and atmosphere.
The wine routes →Experiences range from a simple tasting visit to full days with lunch, private tours and an overnight stay. Availability varies a lot: some areas require booking in advance.
It's better to visit a few places with enough time than to cram many tastings into the same day.
The wine stop combines well with Lima and Arequipa, or it can be included between Arequipa and Colca, and the Cordillera Blanca, as a more relaxed break.
Factor in transfer times and always choose a driver or a dedicated service when the tastings involve more than one winery.
It's well suited to couples, foodie travelers, groups of friends and anyone who wants to discover a rural and gastronomic side of the country.
You don't need to be an expert: a well-guided visit turns wine into a simple way to read the landscape, agriculture and local culture.
