🍇 Let yourself be carried away by the aromas, landscapes, and traditions 🌿 behind wines with true identity 🍷, born in a natural setting full of history 📜 and flavor 🌄.
Overview of your Santiago tour
The Maipo Valley is known as one of the world’s most important regions for wine production 🍷. Its proximity to the Andes Mountains and the richness of its volcanic soils give it a unique terroir, where climate, minerals, and elevation create wines with bold tannins and strong character 🌋🍇. In this privileged setting grow ancestral vines, originally brought from France in the 19th century, which have beautifully adapted to the land. Thanks to Chile’s natural geographic barriers 🌄, pesticide use is minimal—making the process cleaner and more respectful of the environment 🌿. Each glass reflects this story—a land with identity and a living tradition that continues to impress wine lovers worldwide 🌍.
Your Santiago tour itinerary
📍 Flexible meeting point I adapt to your comfort: the tour can start from your hotel, a restaurant, or any tourist attraction within Santiago. 🚗 Our experience begins with a drive to the Maipo Valley, one of the world’s most renowned wine regions. 🍷 Depending on availability, we could visit up to 3 wineries: In two of them you will enjoy a guided tour + tasting, and if you're still feeling energized, we can optimize the time and visit a third winery, where you’ll find special souvenirs and have the chance to enjoy a glass of wine (not included). 🥾 Walk through the vineyards accompanied by an expert guide, who will answer your questions while sharing insights into the winemaking world. 🍽️ It's time to pair the wine with local cuisine. How about lunch at a nearby restaurant? You choose the place, and we can also help arrange a reservation at a restaurant located within a winery. 🏙️ Return to Santiago in the afternoon with unforgettable memories and a genuine connection to Chilean wine culture.
