Tasting and exploring in the Aconcagua Wine Valley, a lesser-known region to the north of Santiago and at the foothills of the impressive Andes mountains, and the namesake mountain, the largest in the entire Andean range.
You will be picked up from your Santiago location and transported in comfort to your first stop.
A family-owned and operated winery where you will take a brief tour of the winery, and hear how one man’s dream of making quality wines became a reality. Hear about the special touches that go into making these premium wines and the terroir of this corner of the valley. Then taste three of their wines accompanied by bread and local cheeses.
You then have a unique opportunity to visit a small boutique winery, the personal project of an experienced winemaker. We will visit their typical Chilean country house and orchard before sitting down to a tasting of three of their wines. Talk personally with the owner, and enjoy an intimate and personally-prepared three-course lunch paired with their wines.
You will then be transported back to Santiago at the end of a truly unique and personal day.

My wife and I and two friends spent several days in and around Santiago, and as Northern Californians living near our wine country, we had to sample some of the... read more fine wines produced in Chile. Kylie is a warm, vibrant personality who speaks fluent Spanish, along with Aussie English, and she knows her vineyards. Want large wineries?; small boutique wineries?; delightful restaurants out in the country to enjoy spectacular Chilean food (oh, God, and more wine), she has excellent relationships with the local winemakers from Alta Maipo (the Andes foothills), to Casablanca in the Coastal range. This is a wine lovers paradise, and Kylie made it so much fun and totally memorable. She. picked us up at our Santiago Hotel at 9am and got us back to our hotel from our Alto Maipo touring by 4 or 5. We loved her! Kylie was booked the day we were available to hit the coastal wineries, but went out of her way to arrange to have an associate take us to those wineries, which we combined with a tour of the seaside town of Valparaiso, Kylie coordinated the entire day as well. Valpo is a stunning port city, famous for its hillside murals painted on the sides of houses, walls, stairs in the hills near the central city. A funicular takes you up the hill side to see these UNESCO-protected murals and houses. This was another 9am pick up at our hotel, and we were deposited back around 6pm. What a couple of days! Give Kylie and her Chile Wine Trails the opportunity to show you around. you won't be disappointed!
Kylie guided my husband and me around three wineries in the Aconcagua Valley last week (Jan 2020). The tour was excellent. Kylie is knowledgeable, friendly, and definitely knows her wines.... read more Each winery visited was very different, ranging in size from boutique producer to one of the larger premier brands with the tastings showcasing a wide range of styles of Chilean wine. Our tour also included lunch at the Flaherty winery where the food offered was absolutely divine. Only warning – most of the wines are so good you’ll drink all of every glass you’re offered…. A very enjoyable day out!
Recently took an afternoon tour with Kylie of two vineyards, with lunch at one. Kylie is a true pro, efficient, nice conversationalist and perceptive as to delivering the best... read more experiences for her clients. She provided me and my 83 year old father with an outstanding and quite unique experience. I would highly recommend her services to anyone with a serious interest in exploring the great vineyards around Santiago. Thanks Kylie!
This is a very belated review (our tour with Kylie was in late-2016), but my wife and I had an excellent tour of Alto Maipo together with Kylie and another... read more couple who we joined at the last minute. We visited three wineries and had a great lunch at a local restaurant - Kylie was very knowledgeable about the wines of the region and made the entire experience a pleasure. Very glad to see she's gone from strength to strength - highly recommended!
I had done other Casablanca tours with longer-established companies, but we thought we'd see what Kylie had to offer. I was sold when I saw that her tour included... read more lunch at Casa Botha! There were 6 of us in a family group, and Kylie kept the tour to just us, which made for a more personalised day. We visited two great wineries and had an amazing lunch at Casa Botha, where our guests really enjoyed David's hospitality. Our visitors from New Zealand said afterwards that it had been worth coming to Chile just for the tour, and especially the lunch.
Kylie is incredibly knowledgeable about the Chilean wine and food scene and provides an excellent service. We'll definitely be back!
I simply cannot imagine how the tour that Kylie designed and booked for us could have been better. Not only did we have someone to drive us so that we... read more could drink wine (Chile has a zero tolerance policy for drinking and driving), we had a tour guide who made all the winery bookings, a
Sommelier, and interpreter all rolled into one. Kylie is so knowledgeable that she put together a 2.5 day tour that really showcased the Chilean wine industry and the fantastic wines that they had to offer. She has wonderful relationships with the winemakers and staff who made us feel like VIPs. Great tour at a great price. Thank you Kylie!
