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!

					  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.

					  I had organised a group of people from a cruise stop in San Antonio on 7th March.

Kylie had been great with communicating before hand and dealing with my... read more requests promptly.

It proved to be a great day out. Two wineries in good locations.

The second included a barbecue and the wine flowed. My group gelled together. Kylie was on hand and proved to be personable and passionate about the wines and area.

   I should also mention the guides at both venues, knowledgeable and informative.

The transport used was very good, great driver and everybody commented on the standard of the vehicle used. Not always the case on some of our trips.

    This is great option for folks interested in wine.

Great job 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!

					  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.

					  We were two couples who had just got off a cruise ship.  All of us have toured .wineries across the world - France, Italy, California, Canada, Australia, and New... read more Zealand.

Kylie met us and did everything expected and so very much more.  It was apparent that this business is her passion.  The van and driver were both top notch.  

We visited 2 different wineries and while many tastings are just that, we toured both wineries from top to bottom, ending in wonderful tastings.

Kylie was involved throughout the day and her suggestion for lunch at a local restaurant was outstanding.  

We had a wonderful day with Kylie who treated us like friends rather than customers.  Once back in Santiago she gave us a tour of downtown Santiago before we were dropped at our hotel.  Not only would we recommend her to friends, we want to use her again ourselves!
