Leo gave us a wonderful tour of wineries around Casablanca. We picked two of them but our favorite was a small winery that he surprised us with. Very knowledgable and laid back. Highly recommend!

I'm a chilean, that was born in Santiago. After working as a mechanic technician at the airpot, I decide to work in tourism, because I realy enjoy to talk with people from another countries and cultures. What I do is to let them know the wounderful land that we have, in terms of knowledge teaching them about history, archeology, flora, fauna and architecture. My satisfaction is to provide my knowledge to the tourists that want to visit Chile. I also work for the US Embassy in Santiago to whom I provide transportation support as a bilingual driver-guide. As Chile is a wine producing country I manage a vast knowledge about different wine valleys, wineries and also the whole process of making one of the best wines of the world. I have been travelling through my country for many years, so I know the needs of de people. English Courses At ELS international Santiago, all Compulsory Education,mechanical technician at Inacap Institute, courses at pre Columbian Art museum, And a First Aid Course.

We begin in casa blanca that has a unique condition to pruduce cold weather vines. Being at the foot of the Cordillera de la Costa, part of the plantations are located on slopes on granite soils in an advanced state of decomposition. While on the plane the soils are clay-silt-sandy. They are highly permeable soils of medium depth that, together with the cold influence of the ocean and its Mediterranean climate, generate an environment of slow maturation. This translates into fresh wines and balanced acidity, perfumed aromas and delicate flavors. If you are a wine lover this wine valley will leave you very satisfied not only for its famous wines but also for its local people, gastronomy and landscape.

We were two 60+ couples from Canada, Ontario. Leo was very accommodating and flexible with setting up our itinerary. We were picked up at our hotel in Santiago, on time, to transfer to our hotel in Valparaiso. On the way we stopped at a great winery for a wine tasting, and tour. Lunch was also provided with wine pairing. Casa Del Bosque. Leo was very knowledgeable of the area and provided history of the area. Also went to Kingston Family winery. Thank you Leo and sons.
We had a wonderful day touring with Leoncio during our cruise ship stop at San Antonio. He is very knowledgeable and is enthusiastic about sharing the culture and history of Chile. He selected 2 wonderful wineries based on our specific interests for wine tastings, during which he provided a lot of information about the evolution of the wine industry and varietals in the country. We couldn't have asked for a better day or a better guide.
Leo is a superb guide, knowledgeable, engaging, and enthusiastic. He planned a wonderful day for us, including premium wine tasting at two wineries and a delicious lunch at one of them. Would recommend this tour strongly!
Leoncio is a great guide and knows his wines ... the tour through the Casa Blanca Valley was excellent. Not only did we visit several excellent wineries but visited a local restaurant off the tourist path to try the local cuisines. He knows the history and makes the tour very interesting. Additionally, if the outing requires movement between Santiago and Valparaiso the vineyards make a great transition as Leoncio takes care of the full transportation.
Great tour , something different in terms of wine tasting to rest of the world with an excellent guide. We also enjoyed the more traditional Chilean lunch.
We begin our tour from santiago or Valparaiso city taking the route 68, once we get to the central mountain range that is part of the transversal valleys where each one has it's own microclimate you will see the first town call curacavi if you start from santiago or Casa Balanca if you start from Valparaiso in both we can find excellent terroir and conditions for fruits and wines, in the case of Casa Blanca most of them are boutique vineyards and main vines are pinot noir, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, Syrah, among other. our first technical stop will be in a empanada factory to be ready for the wine tasting. you will enjoy this route of the wines where we gonna have the visit to Emiliana Organic wines and then we will visit one of the best typical restaurant to enjoy the chilean cuisine and after lunch we visit another boutique winerie where you can do a wine tasting in Bodegas RE winerie or Casas del Bosque wineyard this is a famous chilean wine producers.
