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 private 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 three premium wines made in this impressive facility, including two vintages of their internationally-recognised icon wine.

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

What our clients say

					  This was a really amazing tour that made us feel looked after and catered to. Kylie prepared a totally customized tour for us, with an amazing price-value, specific to the... read more locations, times, and days we could go (limited in time). She did everything to make sure we were comfortable, having fun, and fulfilled all our wishes and requests.

On our tour, we were picked up on time in a BMW (tour was only us two and one other woman) and whisked away to Santa Rita as a first stop. Although this is a major wine producer in Chile, the tour was a good size and the grounds were absolutely gorgeous. We tried a few wines and Kylie, the tour guide, even bought each of us some snacks and another glass of wine to enjoy in the gardens before heading off to the next stop.

We next went to a small but amazingly tasty restaurant and were treated to a three course lunch with a bottle of wine, water, and coffee. We couldnt get over how good the food was and generous the tour was. Our next stop was a smaller winery, William Fevre, where we got to see the production area, speak with the manager, walk around the grounds, and try some of their best wines.

We would recommend this tour to anyone staying in Santiago or going to Chile! We thouroughly enjozed the day and tips for Santiagos wine bars afterwards!

					  We had a wonderful day visiting 3 wineries in the Casablanca valley with Kylie. It was such a relaxed experience - not having to think about anything because Kylie took... read more care of it all (driving, bookings, choosing the wineries, selecting lunch etc.) We felt perfectly pampered! The three wineries - Veramonte, Casas del Bosque, and Viñamar - perfectly complemented each other. And of course Kylie herself is a treasure! Charming, entertaining and not getting tired of our constant questions about the wines, wineries, and Chile in general. She also gave us recommendations unrelated to the tour that were very welcome. So if you are looking to book a private tour of Chile’s wine country look no further. Just book Kylie!

					  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!

					  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 spent our honeymoon and Chile including a two day tour of the Colchagua Valley with Kylie which was the highlight of the trip for both of us. Over two... read more days, we visited 6 wineries ranging from the largest and most wineries to the smallest and newest. Along the way we learned about the amazing history and culture of wine making, drank incredible wine, ate delicious meals, and saw some of the most breathtaking views. Kylie was a terrific guide, adding insights along the way and curating experiences that we would not have been able to achieve on our own. We enjoyed the Colchagua experience so much that we booked another tour of the Casablanca Valley with Kylie on our last day in Chile and hope to return soon!
