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
My wife and I and two friends spent several days in and around Santiago, and as Northern Californians living near our wine country, we had to sample some of the... read more fine wines produced in Chile. Kylie is a warm, vibrant personality who speaks fluent Spanish, along with Aussie English, and she knows her vineyards. Want large wineries?; small boutique wineries?; delightful restaurants out in the country to enjoy spectacular Chilean food (oh, God, and more wine), she has excellent relationships with the local winemakers from Alta Maipo (the Andes foothills), to Casablanca in the Coastal range. This is a wine lovers paradise, and Kylie made it so much fun and totally memorable. She. picked us up at our Santiago Hotel at 9am and got us back to our hotel from our Alto Maipo touring by 4 or 5. We loved her! Kylie was booked the day we were available to hit the coastal wineries, but went out of her way to arrange to have an associate take us to those wineries, which we combined with a tour of the seaside town of Valparaiso, Kylie coordinated the entire day as well. Valpo is a stunning port city, famous for its hillside murals painted on the sides of houses, walls, stairs in the hills near the central city. A funicular takes you up the hill side to see these UNESCO-protected murals and houses. This was another 9am pick up at our hotel, and we were deposited back around 6pm. What a couple of days! Give Kylie and her Chile Wine Trails the opportunity to show you around. you won't be disappointed!

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!

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!

Kylie guided my husband and me around three wineries in the Aconcagua Valley last week (Jan 2020). The tour was excellent. Kylie is knowledgeable, friendly, and definitely knows her wines.... read more Each winery visited was very different, ranging in size from boutique producer to one of the larger premier brands with the tastings showcasing a wide range of styles of Chilean wine. Our tour also included lunch at the Flaherty winery where the food offered was absolutely divine. Only warning – most of the wines are so good you’ll drink all of every glass you’re offered…. A very enjoyable day out!

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.
