The capstone visit of our trip will be to Kingston Family Vineyards, a winery located in the Casablanca Valley of Chile. Considered pioneers for growing red wine grapes in a valley known for whites, they have been called “one of the area’s most promising producers”. The vineyard was founded in the early 1990s by the Kingston Family

one of the family and business executives writes:

“My mother and grandmother on my mom’s side grew up in Montclair, NJ, and my great-grandmother spent her entire life in Upper Montclair. So while our family’s farm in Casablanca, Chile is the foundation of my father’s side of our extended family—Montclair, New Jersey, (and later Princeton, New Jersey) is very special on my mother Louise Lauck Kingston’s side.”
