About ten kilometers away from Ica, the Tacama Winery is open for tours 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (except December 25-January 1). It produces Peru's best dry wines. Tacama employs French wine experts to help with grape selection and other wine-related consultations, and the result is several outstanding wines. The winery itself is an interesting mix of century-old hacienda with modern winery technology and methods. Tacama produces about 1.5 million liters of wine and pisco annually.

The website is quite useful, with everything from a virtual tour of the winery to a pisco recipe book.
