Overview of your Santiago tour

The wealthiest chilean families of nineteenth century introduced in this Colchagua valley (2 hours and 30 minutes trip from Santiago) very fine varieties of grapes mainly from France, because weather, geography and soil characteristics here were very similar to France. So Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec and the best Carmenere began their production and export from here around the world in the end of nineteenth century; first as bulk wine in barrels and then in very fine bottles of the awarded "Best Wine Region of the World" in 2005. Here you can visit three wineries, choosing from: Viña Montes, Casa Lapostolle, Viu Manent, Emiliana or Neyen.

This was our second tour with Victor Hugo. He is an accomplished guide who took us to the best wineries in the Colchagua Valley as well as to a nice place for lunch. This is a must do tour if you like red wine. One person in our party left their glasses in Victor's car, and he quickly returned them.

We considered that Victor provided the best guide services during our two-week vacation throughout Chile and Peru. He is a high degree of knowledge on the wineries and towns. In addition to providing expert commentaries and well-planned logistics, he was very effective in communications and in his ease of talking. He was very flexible and adaptive in meeting our tour needs. He also freely provided input and tips for other tours that we were doing. He is a top performer and highly recommend him.

Victor was an excellent guide and his wine tasting tour was wonderful. He suggested that we visit a local museum instead of a 3rd winery and we enjoyed that experience. We recommend Victor.

Victor is always cheerful and can be seen loving his job as a tour guide. He is very accommodative to our preference of visits e.g. changing 3 winery tours to 2 winery plus the museum visit instead. He is very positive with feedback for improvement when we provided the possibility for him to include the museum tour as an option in the website as well as putting "credit card" instead of "just cash" for lunches during the tours.
