EXPLORE COLCHAGUA VALLEY
TWO DAY TOUR

COLCHAGUA VALLEY WINE TOUR

Our two-day Colchagua tour takes us via the Alto Maipo wine region to the entrance of the Colchagua wine valley. Visit three distinctly different wineries over the course of the first day. After an overnight stay, you’ll enjoy a further three wineries in the valley before returning to Santiago.

DAY ONE

First stop is a family-owned winery recognized both nationally and internationally for consistency and high quality. Visit their uniquely-designed and modern “bodega”, constructed to be in complete harmony with nature. Hear about the key factors that influence their wines. Experience first-hand the difference between American and French oak. Enjoy a tasting of three of their quality wines accompanied with a cheese board.

We then drive to the entrance of the Colchagua Valley to our next winery. You will enjoy an a-la-carte lunch (not included in price) in a beautiful setting with a view over the polo field.

After lunch, you’ll take a short tour of the colonial buildings of this historic winery. Then taste three wines from their Grand Reserve line, the result of their best terroirs.

On our last stop for the day, you’ll meet personally with the owner at a small production “garage” winery. Hear about their concept for “Slow Wine” and enjoy a conversation and glass of wine in a truly relaxing environment.

You’ll then be dropped off at your pre-arranged accommodation (not included in price) for a relaxing evening.

DAY TWO

You’ll be picked up from your hotel for your first winery. Visit an historic winery where you’ll take a tour through the vines in a horse-drawn carriage. See the wine making process and taste a wine in-progress, straight from the tank. Return to the colonial tasting rooms to sample a further 5 wines from their extensive range.

We then head into the Apalta valley, a sub-region of the Colchagua Valley, to the restaurant of a world-renowned Argentinian chef, where you can enjoy a delicious a-la-carte lunch. Located amongst the vines of Viña Montes (No. 4 in World’s Best Vineyards), you can select their wines by the glass, including the premium Purple Angel, or select a bottle from their ample selection. Choose from a range of delicious seasonal dishes featuring local produce cooked over the fire as you take in the beautiful surrounds of the vineyard. *Lunch not included in tour price

After lunch, visit the architecturally amazing facilities of this French-influenced winery, an ultra-premium, organic and bio-dynamic winery. Enjoy a tour through the vines to the majestic winery set in the hill. Start on the rooftop with amazing views over the vineyard and follow the wine making process on its gravitational path, finishing in the incredible barrel room. You’ll then taste two premium wines made in this impressive facility, Clos Apalta and Petit Clos.

You can then relax while you’re transported back to Santiago at the end of an amazing two days.

					  Having worked in Napa, this trip blew my mind. Kylie created a wonderful day for our group. The Maipo Valley creates amazing wines. The moments of drinking wine in the... read more vineyard with the winemaker staring into the Andes was a moment I will never forget. Along with the typical Chilean bbq lunch. I can only tip my hat to Kylie for introducing them. With the great itinerary I experienced from Chile Wine Tours, I'm sure the rest will be top notch. Very detailed was taken care of. Great for any level of wine drinker.

					  Top notch wine tour. I contacted Kylie through a recommendation and I’m so glad that I did. My husband and I were picked up on time (Kylie arrived early) and... read more away we went on the Alto Maipo tour to two wineries. The first was Santa Rita where we were educated in the process of wine making with the addition of the the history of the independence of Chile. We enjoyed some very nice wines as tastings. Off to Haras Pirque, a smaller boutique winery where we has tastings of their very good wines. Lunch was next at el Manson Toro. This is a traditional restaurant and the food/drink was outstanding. Kylie offered us a third winery which we declined as we were “wined out” so we made our way back to the hotel. Kylie is the the difference between an ok tour and a five * tour. Gracious, knowledgeable and a joy to spend time with. We highly recommend Chile Wine Trails and Kylie as your guide.

					  We met Kylie before coming to Santiago and was happy to hear she ran wine tours from Santiago. We had a convenient meeting point and were with a family of... read more three Australians. We visited three amazing wineries which were all quite different. We tasted some great wines and Kylie was always on hand to translate anything that wasn’t clear to those of us who’s Spanish is not so good. Full of tips and recommendations, it was good to get an unbiased oversight on the City. Kylie had obviously done her research, she was great company and everything ran smoothly. I would highly recommend.

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!
