COLCHAGUA & CACHAPOAL VALLEY TWO DAY TRIP
Colchagua & Cachapoal Wine Tour

CACHAPOAL VALLEY…
As we head south from Santiago, the Cachapoal Valley stretches from Rapel lake and the coast, to the foothills of the Andes, featuring diverse microclimates that allow for a wide variety of wines.

Retire to the “quincho” for a delicious four-course lunch, paired with
three premium wines, revealing the secrets of Chilean cuisine. Whilst you enjoy your food, toast the mountain breezes and an unrivalled panoramic view of the Cachapoal Valley.
COLCHAGUA VALLEY…
Arguably Chile’s most famous region, the diverse Colchagua Valley sits 150 kilometers to the south of Santiago. With wineries stretching from the higher altitude of the foothills of the Andes mountain range, through its center around Santa Cruz, and towards the Pacific Ocean coast, the region is synonymous with quality Chilean wines, and particularly favorable for Chile’s flagship Carménère.

Next it’s off to lunch, to enjoy a delicious a-la-carte lunch at a restaurant of world-renowned Argentinian chef Francis Mallmann.
