Macchu Pisco was founded in 2006 by Melanie Asher and her sister Lizzie with the sole ambition of sharing a little taste of Peru with the US, Europe and beyond. In Peru, the Ashers work with a co-op of women farmers and coordinate their efforts with Coprodeli, an organization helping women and children in the Ica region where they produce their Pisco, recruiting women to work as grape pickers.
