Distillery Information

Hacienda La Caravedo is the oldest working distillery in the Americas and the place where they make Pisco Caravedo. It’s located in Ica, Peru, about a four hour drive south of Lima.The distillery is an imaginative combination of the very old part dating to the 1600s and a very new part dating back a couple of years. The original distillery was all run by gravity. A schematic from the Porton brand book is below. The process goes grapes to juice to resting to fermentation to distillation to resting again.
