Where there is drink there is food, and Peru is widely known as the gastronomic capital of the Americas by many a chef around the world. Each and every meal was a celebration of freshness and of fusion. Peru’s cuisine is a blend of several cultures that speak to its history. From the traditional cuisine of the Indians, to that of the Spanish conquerors, the influx of Japanese and Chinese. And with the diversity of the landscape from the coastal region with a selecton of over 2,000 fish to choose from, and the Andean highlands the purple, red, yellow “chocla” corn, with 3,000 kinds of potatoes the possibilities are endless! 

Our adventures were not restricted to our dietary pleasures alone… as there were numerous moments of “participAction” as well! Riding the “Paso horses” for example at the stunning traditonal yet extremely innovative Bodegas Carevedo founded in 1884. Following our delicate dismount we learn from the passionate and charismatic co-owner and master distiller Johnny Schuler of the history and breeding of these particular horses, and how they related to the  history of Pisco.

At Bodegas El Sarcay, another award winning Pisco producer, hawks are trained here to keep the smaller birds at bay and away from the vineyards. We are hypnotized by the majestry of the hawks and  a gloriously bedazzling eagle as they fly to our extended arms piece of meat in hand.

Celebrating with brothers Giancarlo and Alessandro Colombaro, owners of Pisco restaurant, Toronto with the Pisco Sour and classic Peruvian fare the pan con chicharrón. Delish!

The Pisco Sour

Many Peruvian tipplers prefer to mix pisco with lime juice, sugar syrup, egg white, Angostura bitters and ice — the classic formulation known as a pisco sour and long claimed by Peruvians as their national cocktail.
