She affords her groups personal attention and personality.... read more We visited Casas del Bosque, Emiliana, House and Casa Botha.

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!

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!

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 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.
