The 3 Valleys Wine Tour

After receiving a warm welcome by your guide in Santiago, transfer to your hotel. Unwind for a couple of hours and don’t forget to enjoy the romantic view of the Andes as the sun sinks behind the mountain peaks and twilight draws near.

Travel to the Maipo Valley and visit the traditional Concha y Toro Winery founded in 1883 as well as the Santa Rita Winery. Explore the vineyards and fermentation rooms to get a behind-the-scenes look at the viticulture industry in Chile. There’s ample opportunity to enjoy the fruits of their labor when you pull up a chair for lunch and savor some local cuisine combined with a wine tasting.

Experience the classic Casablanca Valley Wine Route on a full-day excursion today. This valley offers the most fertile area and best conditions for growing white grapes. Visit Santa Emiliana Winery to learn about organic wine production and sample their wines, then continue onto William Cole Winery to gain even greater knowledge of the process and enjoy a few glasses of their favorite vintage wines. Finally, head to the Indomita Winery and relish a delicious lunch accompanied by a wine tasting. Return to Santiago during the afternoon.

Journey to the Aconcagua Valley, famous for its Mediterranean climate where hot summers are somewhat tempered by the cool Humboldt ocean current and Pacific Ocean breeze. Visit Errazuriz Winery to sample some red grape varieties including Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Carmenere and Merlot. Dine on a locally-prepared lunch and appreciate the aromas and subtle flavors of the winery’s best grapes. Afterward, visit San Esteban Winery and see the picturesque and symmetrical vineyards on the banks of the Rio Aconcagua at the foot of the Andes. Taste some more full-bodied varieties that are characteristic of the Valley. In the evening, return to your hotel in Santiago.

In the morning transfer to the Santiago Airport (SCL) to fly to your next destination in Chile or South America.
