Description - What to expect

Start your Maipo Valley wine tour with a convenient pick-up from your hotel in Santiago and then drive to visit Santa Rita Vineyard. Santa Rita dates back to the 1880s and plays an important role in Chilean history as the site of one of the battles during the War for Independence.

Admire the old hacienda-style estate house and enjoy your wine while you stroll through the old cellars. You will see the grape variety garden, vineyards, winemaking and cellaring facilities, and bottling process. You will even see “Bodega 1” – the winery’s first cellar and the “Cellar of the 120 Patriots”. Discover the exciting story that gives 120 its name. The tour ends with a tasting of Reserva and Gran Reserva wines.

Then, visit the neighboring “Museo Andino” (Andean Museum), which contains a special collection of pre-Columbian pottery, textiles, and other artifacts. Continue through the Maipo Valley to the town of Pirque with time for lunch.

After lunch, visit the internationally-renowned Concha y Toro Vineyard, which dates back to 1883. The founder, Don Melchor Concha y Toro brought the first vines from the Bordeaux region in France that were planted in Chile and grew prosperously in the Maipo River basin. Walk around the gardens of the summer residence of the Concha y Toro family, discover the variety garden, visit their cellars and taste a selection of three of their fine wines.
