Who we are
A family winery in the Maipo Andes Valley
Besoain Wines is a boutique cellar in Los Morros, between Buin and Pirque, in the Metropolitan Region of the Maipo Andes Valley, Chile.
We produce wine on a small scale, from our vineyards, in our winery, with a committed team and a Franco-German methodology to achieve exceptional quality, which we maintain in every vintage.

Our story
To become what BESOAIN WINES is today, tenacity has played an important role: in the first harvest, in 2004, we only had a 2,500-litre vat, which was loaded by hand with a bucket, and only 9 barrels that were selected and toasted personally by Miguel.
Today the winery has a capacity of 60,000 liters and 250 barrels and has grown from selling its wines directly to acquaintance and friends, to regularly exporting to various countries on four continents and having a branch established in Germany.
We are proud to share that our wines have been recognised by important international juries over the years.
Our winemaker
Miguel Besoaín is an oenologist trained at the University of Burgundy, France. He worked for 10 years in France and Germany, resulting in the position of Technical Director at a large winery in Germany's Palatine region.
In 2009 he decided to return to Chile to operate the family vineyard and fulfill his personal dream: to build up his own winery and produce high class wines in the Maipo Valley.
His distinctive hallmark is his focus on maximizing the raw material and dedicating himself to each step of the production of a good wine.
