About

Valle Escondido was born in 1998 through Néstor de Luca, an agricultural engineer who has devoted his life to fruit growing. It was the unique climate and privileged land of San Juan — a province at the foot of the Andes, in the heart of the Cuyo region — that revealed to him the enormous potential of this region to grow grapes of exceptional quality.

San Juan brings together conditions found nowhere else: more than 320 days of sunshine a year, deep alluvial soils, little rain during harvest, and pure Andean meltwater for irrigation. An unrepeatable combination that translates directly into the quality of every product.

With a long export track record and a presence in markets across five continents, Valle Escondido saw a unique opportunity in raisins: to take that natural quality to its highest level. That is how our specialty was born — premium raisins, sun-dried, with no preservatives and full traceability.

Today, more than 25 years on, Néstor and his children continue the path he set out, with the same conviction and the same standard of quality. A family business where every decision, every vineyard and every box that leaves San Juan for the world carries the mark of those who know this land intimately.
