When we say Bolivia, we rather think of quinoa from the Andean highlands or coffee from the Amazon, but Bolivia and it is less known also produces wine.

A tiny wine producer alongside the Chilean and Argentinian giants, its neighbors, Bolivia is nevertheless climbing on the international wine scene.

Gradually, top-of-the-range restaurants are offering these wines, produced in very small family bodegas, on their menus.

In most areas, production does not exceed a few thousand bottles per year.
