Journey into Chile's most celebrated wine valley for an exclusive estate visit, barrel-room tour and sommelier-led tasting of premium Carménère and Cabernet at one of Maipo's legendary bodegas — paired with a refined lunch. This is Chilean viticulture at its most aristocratic.
What to expect
The Maipo Valley lies just 35 km south of Santiago, making it one of the most port-accessible wine experiences in South America. At Viña Santa Rita you'll walk through medieval-style cellars carved into hillside rock, taste library-reserve vintages the public rarely encounters, and sit down to a seasonal Chilean menu prepared by the estate kitchen. The surrounding gardens — where independence hero Bernardo O'Higgins once sheltered — add a fascinating layer of history to every sip.
Good to know
Arrange private transfers from San Antonio port (approx. 100 km). Book the premium private tasting package directly via the estate's tourism page to secure a dedicated sommelier and the gourmet lunch pairing. Allow at least 4 hours at the estate; depart port by 8:00 am to be comfortable with all-aboard.
