Tasting and exploring in the Aconcagua Wine Valley, a lesser-known region to the north of Santiago and at the foothills of the impressive Andes mountains, and the namesake mountain, the largest in the entire Andean range.
You will be picked up from your Santiago location and transported in comfort to your first stop.
A family-owned and operated winery where you will take a brief tour of the winery, and hear how one man’s dream of making quality wines became a reality. Hear about the special touches that go into making these premium wines and the terroir of this corner of the valley. Then taste three of their wines accompanied by bread and local cheeses.
You then have a unique opportunity to visit a small boutique winery, the personal project of an experienced winemaker. We will visit their typical Chilean country house and orchard before sitting down to a tasting of three of their wines. Talk personally with the owner, and enjoy an intimate and personally-prepared three-course lunch paired with their wines.
You will then be transported back to Santiago at the end of a truly unique and personal day.

An amazing two days in the capable hands of Kylie and Julio(Driver) visiting two great wine valleys outside of Santiago. Great communication and very varied selection of wineries on our... read more list. Lunch spots were very diverse and delicious too. We were very pleased and Kylie offered all sorts of other ideas and suggestions to make our Santiago Visit even more special.
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.
I had done other Casablanca tours with longer-established companies, but we thought we'd see what Kylie had to offer. I was sold when I saw that her tour included... read more lunch at Casa Botha! There were 6 of us in a family group, and Kylie kept the tour to just us, which made for a more personalised day. We visited two great wineries and had an amazing lunch at Casa Botha, where our guests really enjoyed David's hospitality. Our visitors from New Zealand said afterwards that it had been worth coming to Chile just for the tour, and especially the lunch.
Kylie is incredibly knowledgeable about the Chilean wine and food scene and provides an excellent service. We'll definitely be back!
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.
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!
