About Château DeFay
Château DeFay is an experimental vineyard. For the first ten years of our existence we were not sure that we could produce high quality wines in the Santa Maria de Jesus region. So we brought dozens of grape varieties from abroad, planted them in our volcanic soil and waited to see whether they would prosper. Some grew well and many did not. We also experimented with different winemaking strategies in particular using other locally grown fruits. In the last two years we have produced thirteen different wines, 6 whites, 5 reds and 2 roses that have been very well received. We now know that we can produce high quality wines that are unique to our vineyards and not found anywhere else in the world.
Currently we are engaged in a two pronged development strategy: (1) propagating the grape varieties that can grow successfully in our climate which will increase our production capacity and (2) developing several gourmet restaurants in Guatemala where wine enthusiasts can experience our wines in a congenial environment. We started by expanding and upgrading the food service in the chateau by offering high quality Italian cuisine. We also acquired a high quality French restaurant in Antigua called “La Casserole” located at 7 Callejon de La Concepcion, in front of the Jade Factory and within walking distance of the hotel Casa Santo Domingo and finally we recently opened a new restaurant “Château DeFay” in Zone 14 in the city of Guatemala, 14-24, 5th Avenue where we serve a variety of French and Italian cuisine. All of Château DeFay wines are available for wine tasting and purchase in the three locations. Read more about Château DeFay>>
