Route

Santiago

Discover Chile's renowned wine heritage just minutes from Santiago's vibrant city center. Explore world-class wineries in the prestigious Maipo Valley, where the perfect combination of Andean climate and rich soils produces exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, and other noble grape varieties.

Begin your journey at historic vineyards like Concha y Toro, Santa Rita, or Cousiño Macul, where centuries-old wine-making traditions meet modern innovation. Tour underground cellars carved by colonial-era craftsmen, wander through stunning gardens surrounded by mountain vistas, and learn about sustainable wine-making practices that are shaping Chile's viticultural future.

Expert sommeliers guide you through intimate tastings of reserve wines, explaining how the unique terroir of each vineyard influences its distinctive flavors. Enjoy farm-to-table lunch experiences at winery restaurants, where traditional Chilean cuisine perfectly complements the estate's finest vintages.

Day 2

Colchagua Valley

Enjoy a full day trip to the Colchagua Valley and it's wineries. When it comes to terroir — the soil, topography, climate and overall environment in which a wine is produced — the Colchagua Valley has it all. The valley, about 80 miles south of Santiago, has a generally warm climate cooled by ocean breezes; it’s dry but has just the right amount of rainfall and enough rivers to provide moisture. Colchagua is a relatively new wine growing region in Chile, but produces a number of prominent red wines, primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere and Syrah. Prestigious wineries in the valley include Casa Lapostolle, Montes and Vina Casa Silva.

Day 4

Alto Maipo and Cousino Macul

Cousino-Macul is the only 19th century winery in Chile that remains in the hands of it's founding family. Situated in the area known as Alto Maipo, any trip to Santiago should include a visit to the world famous Cousino-Macul. The water from the Andes mountains, coupled with the soil in this region are particularly well suited for the production of high quality grapes, and wine.

Day 5

Valparaiso and Vina del Mar

On your last day in Santiago, experience the vibrant spirit of Chile's Pacific coast with a visit to the colorful sister cities of Valparaíso and Viña del Mar. Begin your journey in Valparaíso, a UNESCO World Heritage site where rainbow-hued houses cascade down steep hillsides. Ride the historic funiculars up winding streets adorned with stunning street art and discover charming cafés tucked away in century-old buildings. Continue north to sophisticated Viña del Mar, known as the "Garden City" for its manicured gardens and palm-lined boulevards. Stroll along the pristine beaches, visit the iconic flower clock, and enjoy fresh seafood at oceanfront restaurants. Between the bohemian charm of Valparaíso's labyrinthine alleys and Viña del Mar's elegant coastal atmosphere, this day trip offers a perfect contrast to Santiago's urban energy.
