Earlier this month, several FIU alumni enjoyed a scenic and enchanting tour through the beautiful wine regions of Chile, tasting fine wines and taking in stunning locations along the way. Highlights of the trip included visits to the best wineries of Casablanca, San Antonio, Colchagua, Cachapoal and Maipo.

The group picked their own vegetables and herbs for a cooking class near Santa Cruz, and below, the group dines al fresco at Lapostolle.

Jorge Villacampa, who serves on the FIU Board of Directors and is the Wells Fargo Area President, had this to say about the experience: “We had a truly great trip. Not only did we learn a lot about wines, but we were also able to experience the country and its people, who we found to be amazing!”

Panther Getaways are an exciting way to discover your dream destinations and enjoy lifelong learning while strengthening your bond with fellow alumni and friends.

Contributions from each trip are made to the First Generation Scholarship Fund based on tour participation. The fund provides financial support to qualified undergraduate students who are the first generation in their families to attain a college degree. All contributions are matched 100% by the State of Florida, doubling impact and making dreams come true for many deserving students.
