I first started my guiding career in the Patagonian port city of Punta Arenas back in 2016. Nowadays, I specialize in guiding around Chile's capital city, Santiago, focusing on our local food due to my background as a professional chef after working in restaurants and hotels in my 15 years of living in the USA, and letting you appreciate our exquisite wine with in-depth knowledge of the best vineyards surrounding Santiago and the central valleys, such as Casablanca, Maipo and Colchagua. Whether you're seeking to enjoy some of the better known vineyards or are looking for a hand-crafted day at Chile's most exclusive wineries, trust me to know the perfect option for you! I really enjoy showing people the natural beauty, history, and local culture of Santiago so you have the opportunity to see it and perceive it as a local and, through that, connect with you in order to exchange experiences. ·7 years of experience as a Tour Guide in Santiago de Chile and its surroundings such as the port city of Valparaiso, Viña del Mar & wine Valleys. ·Graduated from the INACAP Culinary Institute with a minor in International Cuisine (was the best of my class!). ·Certified as a Community Interpreter in the National Qualified Certification Program for Business, Health, Education, and Human Services at Cross-Cultural Communications, Columbia, Maryland-USA. ·Currently partaking in first aid course at the Chilean Red Cross. I will not be driving in my tours, but I'll be able to provide a hired driver in a vehicle if necessary.

Overview of your Santiago tour

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.

Evelyn is truly the BEST! We had a wonderful day in the Maipo Valley. Evelyn shared so much knowledge with us and we learned even more during the fascinating wine tours. The Perez Cruz Winery Tour was very special and honestly not to be missed. But you would not want to miss lunch at Dona Paula's either. Gorgeous property and an exquisite lunch paired with lovely wines. And to top it all off a shortbstop to purchase something special to remember our day. THANK YOU Evelyn!

Evelyn is just great. Informed, well prepared, and just good company. She was up on many aspects of the wine industry in Chile. Her tour included Perez Cruz--just wonderful-- and Santa Rita. The history of Santa Rita was good, the lunch at the inn great, but their entry level tasing was just not as good. I think Evelyn is trying to get them to modify the tour options so she can match them to her clients' preferences. We used Evelyn for a city tour of Santiago. Also very well done. The driver she arranged for both tours was great. Timely, very safe, and took great care of us and his van. Hope you get to enjoy a tour with her.

We were exceedingly pleased from start to finish with Evelyn and our driver, Rolando. We were greeted with smiles, a spotless car, and bottles of water as we drove to the Maipo Valley. Evelyn talked with such enthusiasm about the areas we drove through and prepped us with valuable information about the wines of Chile. By the time we reached our first Vineyard, Perez Cruz, we were able to join our vineyard tour guide, Carolina, in conversation. Everyone answered our questions with kindness and we truly understood the process of an estate vineyard. Wine purchase was easy in their beautiful store. On to lunch at Santa Rita Vineyards, which was exceptional and private. Evelyn was always punctual and we appreciated how smooth our tour process was. The wine history here was remarkable, the short movie on the tour was perfect, and the walk through the processing facilities was fascinating!

We had a fantastic day visiting the Perez Cruz and Santa Rita wineries with Evelyn Carolina (“Evie”). She is very knowledgeable of the history of Chile and of the wines. Having Evie with us added so much to our trip and made for a fun and interesting day.

Your Santiago tour itinerary

•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.
