Present in our logo, the oil mill in Leyda was for years one of our brands presentation.  Located at the top of a hill, it is visible for several kilometers from the Autopista del Sol highway, imposing its presence with the pride of a company that knows how to do things well.

Located 90 km (56 mi) from Santiago, and just a short distance from the sea, Leyda lies between the Coastal Mountain Range and the Pacific Ocean and is known for its rolling green hills and sea breezes.

Its name comes from a derivation of the Spanish typically spoken in Chile’s central zone. From 1912 to 1987 the train between San Antonio (on the coast) and Santiago (the capital) passed through the area “a la ida” (along the way), and local residents eventually shortened it to “le ida.” The name was later “Frenchified” to Leyda, as we know it today.

This cool climate sector with clearly defined seasons and a low daily temperature oscillation has earned fame in recent decades for producing wines with tremendous aromatic and gustatory complexity, putting this corner of Chile on the map. It now also produces exceptional quality extra virgin olive oil.
