Featured Country CHILE

A narrow strip of land stretching close to 4,300 km from north to south, Pablo Neruda’s homeland is blessed with incredible landscapes of infi nite beauty. A major fruit, vegetable and wine producer, this New World country exports its products to destinations all over the globe. One could say that Chilean wines are taking their rightful place on the international wine scene. Not surprising given that Chile is nothing short of paradise for grape growers. In Chile, especially in its capital Santiago, gastronomy holds a prominent place and many establishments boast top-notch menus with specialties showcasing seafood, fish and fresh ingredients and that rival the world’s top restaurants. No doubt about it, as this year’s featured country, Chile is sure to delight scores of Montrealers at the MONTREAL HIGH LIGHTS Festival!
