MAIPO ANDES PREMIUM TOUR
MAIPO ANDES PREMIUM TOUR
Join the Maipo Andes Premium Tour, in the region of Alto Maipo, the closest wine region right on the doorstep of Santiago.
The region stretches into the foothills of the Andes with a micro-climate perfect for well-balanced reds.
FIRST STOP…
We drive towards Pirque, a rural community on the southern edge of the Maipo valley, just out of Santiago’s sphere, where we have the opportunity to visit the personal project of renowned winemaker, German Lyon.
Enjoy a welcome glass of wine as you walk among the vines and hear the story of this family project, where everyone is hands-on and everything is human-scale. Visit the modern winemaking facility and then settle on the terrace to enjoy the view and taste the other two wines of this boutique project, while enjoying homemade charcuterie and cheese.
LUNCH & SECOND WINERY …
Next we visit a beautiful corner of the valley and visit the result of two forged passions: horses and wine. Explore the modern, horseshoe-shaped, gravity-flow winery, visit the impressive cellar, and finish with a tasting of three premium wines.
Retire to the winery’s restaurant and sit down for a tasty meal, with starter and main especially paired with wine, and followed by a delicious dessert and coffee, all while enjoying a panoramic view over the Maipo valley, the vines below and the majestic Andes mountains.
OPTIONAL THIRD WINERY …
As we head back towards Santiago, we drive to Macul, a community on the southwest edge of the Maipo valley, now a part of Santiago’s growing sphere. We visit the historical property of Cousiño Macul where you will visit the vineyard and learn about its sustainable practices, visit the antique vats where wine was made in the 19th century and the centenary underground cellars. You will taste 3 wines along the way then after the tour, a further 3 wines from the Grand Reserve and Premium lines.
We will drop you at your accommodation at the end of your day in the Alto Maipo valley.

What our clients say
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!

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.

Kylie planned an incredible trip to two vineyards in the Casablanca Valley. The first, an organic wine tour paired with chocolate & cheese. The second, a unique vineyard with very... read more interesting blends of wines. We had a delicious wine paired lunch in the cellar of the vineyard. Kylie was a great host & explained everything perfectly! Such an enjoyable experience!

I had a great experience with Kylie, the owner of Chile Wine Trails. She's very knowledgeable and fun at the same time. She affords her groups personal attention and personality.... read more We visited Casas del Bosque, Emiliana, House and Casa Botha. They were all excellent and she clearly had all of the details worked out so all we had to do was show up and enjoy! I highly recommend taking a tour with Kylie!

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!
