Maipo Valley is one of Chile's most important wine-producing regions.

It is often described as the 'Bordeaux of South America', and Rich, fruit-driven Cabernet Sauvignon is undoubtedly its most celebrated wine style. Maipo is at the very Northern end of Chile's extensive Central Valley, running from just north of the Rapel Valley up to where the countryside begins to give way to houses and roads in the southern suburbs of Santiago.

The Central Valley (El Valle Central) of Chile is one of the most important wine-producing areas in South America in terms of Volume.
