MAIPO WINE & CLAY
Small Group Tour

MAIPO WINE & CLAY Small Group Tour

Enjoy a fun group activity with day of wine and traditional pottery with this day trip in the Maipo Valley.

Visit a winery for a tour, tasting and pottery workshop, enjoy your choice of lunch, and an optional visit to the rustic, traditional town of Pomaire for some shopping.

You will be picked up in Santiago in private transport with professional driver and English speaking guide.

FIRST STOP: WINERY…
We head into the Maipo valley to a family-owned and run vineyard, where you will visit the “vine library” and the winemaking facilities.  Roll up your sleeves for a pottery workshop guided by a traditional “Pomairino” potter.  Hear firsthand how this important tradition forms an integral part of the history and heritage of the region, as you make your own work of art.  Taste three wines accompanied with local fruits and nuts while enjoying a sweeping view over the natural amphitheater of the vineyard.

After your tasting, you have the choice of lunch options:

Option One – PICNIC LUNCH 
After working up a hunger, relax under the shady grape arbor and enjoy a picnic lunch, consisting of a sandwich, cheese, olives, fresh fruit, cookies and a little something sweet.  Choose a bottle of Gran Reserva wine to accompany your lunch.
Option Two – WINERY LUNCH …

Once you’ve finished your work of art, we will head on to a special corner of the valley where we will stop at a small production, organic and biodynamic winery.  Retire to their light-filled restaurant where you’ll receive a welcome drink as you take in the beautiful surroundings.  Enjoy a three-course lunch, prepared with products from their organic orchard, along with two glasses of wine and finishing with a coffee.

Optional Final Stop – POMAIRE…

After lunch, time permitting, we visit the small town of Pomaire, where local artisans make a wide range of products from the local clay, including an array of cookware and ornamental products, and the famous lucky Pomaire Pigs.  We’ll point out some recommended places and you’ll have some time to explore the town and do some shopping.

After your shopping, you can relax as we take your group back to Santiago.
