Maipo Valley Vineyard - Full Day Wine Tour in Chile with Countryside Meal All Included

Maipo valley, located southeast of the city of Santiago, is one of the first valleys where wineries were shaped and grown. On this wine tour, you'll enjoy a beautiful and complex mixture of past and present wineries, many being known around the world. Let's explore what makes these one-of-a-kind wineries so popular with wine experts & enthusiasts alike. We will visit two wineries that offer some of the most classic red wines available. You'll have the opportunity to first-hand witness how they come to be. You will savour wines that are rich in flavour, texture and body, which include the classic ones like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and the most emblematic Chilean wine, Carmenere. I will tell you of their history and how they came to be so well known in our country. We will also enjoy lunch along the tour, which will give you the chance to sabor the Chilean countryside. Despite being in the capital, Santiago caters to diverse palates just a few miles away from the busy city.

•The tour will start picking you up from your lodging. •Our first stop will be at Perez Cruz vineyard, located in Maipo Valley's southern shore at the foot of the Andes Mountains, a privileged space in the Chilean countryside, full of authenticity and geographical value that makes it unique, complex to cultivate in, and benefits it with a Mediterranean climate. The winery is fairly new but still manages to keep traditional winemaking very much alive, a tradition that came from all the way from Europe many years ago and is still used to this day. •Our second stop will be at Santa Rita Colonial Vineyard, a place full of history where you'll enjoy a classic guided visit of its beautiful estate, with a large garden to relax with a few glasses of fine wine. •Later, we'll have lunch at its restaurant, "Doña Paula". This is an unmissable opportunity to enjoy a countryside meal, in a colonial adobe building that can be traced back to the late 1700s. •At last, you'll be dropped off back at your accommodation.
