🍷 Did you know that one of the world’s southernmost wines is produced in the heart of Chilean Patagonia?
When you travel the Carretera Austral by campervan, one of the best things about the journey is discovering places and stories you simply didn’t expect to find.
One of them is in Chile Chico, on the shores of General Carrera Lake, where the local climate makes something that might seem impossible at first actually possible: growing grapes and producing wine in this remote corner of Patagonia.
🍇 Keóken, meaning “sunrise” in the Tehuelche language, was born from research and experimentation aimed at adapting grape growing to the unique conditions of this region.
Chile Chico has a relatively warmer and drier microclimate than many other parts of Patagonia, helping explain why vineyards can thrive here among mountains, steppe and enormous lakes.
For those travelling through Patagonia by campervan, this is one of those little discoveries that makes the journey special.
Because Patagonia isn't only about trekking, glaciers and spectacular landscapes. It is also about discovering local products, stories and small projects that have grown in places where you least expect them.

And after visiting the vineyard, you can continue exploring one of the most spectacular areas of Patagonia: General Carrera Lake, Puerto Guadal, Puerto Río Tranquilo and the surrounding area.
Because travelling through Patagonia by campervan is also about this: discovering the little stories along the way.
