The Queirolo family arrives in Peru from Geneva, Italy, and settles in the historical district of Pueblo Libre, in Lima.
The Founding of the Queirolo Tavern: Don Santiago Queirolo personally begins making wine and pisco and immerses himself in this new business.
The launch of the first Queirolo labels for the Peruvian market, “Borgoña” and “Vino de la Magdalena”.
Due to rapid urban growth, the family decides to move the vineyards to the Cañete Valley, located in southern Peru.
After consulting with world famous winemakers Jacques Blouin and Edmundo Bordeu, the third generation of the Queirolo family starts renovating their winery.
Vineyards are acquired in the Valley of Ica, where ideal conditions are present for the cultivation of exquisite grape varietals.
The Ica Valley vineyards are planted with the assistance of Mercier Group, the French international nursery.
The processing plant undergoes modernization in order to meet international standards. However, it is made sure our processes stay true to our unique traditional methods.
