Ecotours Chile Private Tours has developed this superb experience for you, visiting Casablanca Valley from Santiago on private services. The Casablanca Valley Wine tour takes you to a beautiful area only 80 kilometres from Santiago city. With more than 6.000 hectares of vineyards, it is recognized nowadays as one of the premium regions of cold climate and as one of the most modern Valleys in winemaking of Chile. You can visit organic and biodynamic wineries such as Matetic and enjoy lunch at the prestigious restaurant Tanino, from Casas del Bosque winery. We added the spectacular Viñamar winery on this trip so that you can taste some of their fresh wines from Lleyda Valley. Testament to how important the region has become, Casablanca has even been compared to the legendary Napa and Sonoma valleys of California. Although the whites take precedence, some cool climate reds also do well in the higher sections of the valley; such as Pinot Noir and Syrah.
We pick up guests at Hotels located at Las Condes, Providencia, Vitacura, Ñuñoa and Santiago Centro. Be ready at the lobby of your Hotel at 08:30hrs.
Ask for takeaway breakfast if it is served later!
