What our clients say
Top notch wine tour. I contacted Kylie through a recommendation and I’m so glad that I did. My husband and I were picked up on time (Kylie arrived early) and... read more away we went on the Alto Maipo tour to two wineries. The first was Santa Rita where we were educated in the process of wine making with the addition of the the history of the independence of Chile. We enjoyed some very nice wines as tastings. Off to Haras Pirque, a smaller boutique winery where we has tastings of their very good wines. Lunch was next at el Manson Toro. This is a traditional restaurant and the food/drink was outstanding. Kylie offered us a third winery which we declined as we were “wined out” so we made our way back to the hotel. Kylie is the the difference between an ok tour and a five * tour. Gracious, knowledgeable and a joy to spend time with. We highly recommend Chile Wine Trails and Kylie as your guide.

Recently took an afternoon tour with Kylie of two vineyards, with lunch at one. Kylie is a true pro, efficient, nice conversationalist and perceptive as to delivering the best... read more experiences for her clients. She provided me and my 83 year old father with an outstanding and quite unique experience. I would highly recommend her services to anyone with a serious interest in exploring the great vineyards around Santiago. Thanks Kylie!

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!

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 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.
