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.

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!
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.
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!
Kylie met us when we got off our cruise ship in San Antonio. What a wonderful guide and person Kylie is. She is very organized and runs her... read more company in a very professional manner. We spend two days with her and she helped us find hotels & restaurants. What she does best is show you varieties of wineries in both size and complexity. She arranges great tours and lunches. The tours are well paced so you see a great deal but have time to enjoy each winery and lunch. We had two perfect days and I can't imagine anything better. Kylie of Chile Wine Trails has the highest recommendation we can offer, you will not be disappointed.
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.
we ate we drank we got merry. And all off the usual beaten track of Chilean enoturismo. We asked Kylie to put together a package that would be interesting... read more and different and she delivered in spades. The tour was a family Christmas treat so started from our flat in Las Condes and took in William Fevre in Pirque (for an early thirst quencher) where we met the enologist who discussed the different terroirs up the Cajon de Maipu and around Pirque, and how they affect the wines. We had a mooch round the wine making facilities and then got to the important bit - a tasting under the trees (yummy) and some retail therapy in the bodega shop. We tried a chardonnay, a rose and the chacai (¿cachai?) a rather excellent asemblaje. Unfortunately we cleaned the shop out of it and would have bought more if we could.
Next stop was Chateau Los Boldos - not usually open to Joe Public but that doesn't stop Kylie! Here we met the viticulturist - the guy in charge of actually growing grapes good enough to make the wine. It was here that we learned how much a team effort the whole vitification is (and how the enologists steal all the glory!). We asked loads of questions, almost overstayed our welcome and of course did some tasting. Again excellent wines, no shop a few hints as to where you can buy them in Santiago. next stop was Anakena and lunch. We were late but we still got the tour description of the process tour of the gardens and shown how the leaves of the different vines differ. The to the restaurant which was outstanding. Delicious hors d'oeuvres awaited us while the chef put the finishing touches to lunch. Well he had some more wine with lunch and of course bought yet more (cases) in the shop. After lunch it was time for some photos and then the ride home.
Kylie provided a highly personalised service with a great selection of different vineyards and delicious at very reasonable prices. If you hadn't guessed I'd recommend going on one of her trips (unless you don't like wine or food). I'll be going on another soon I am sure.
