Premium Wine Tasting
Maipo Valley, Chile
Our exclusive tour begins with a visit to Perez Cruz, a boutique winery located on the estate grounds of the Perez Cruz family in the Maipo Alto valley. The vineyard is surrounded by beautiful scenery which complements the modern, elegant architecture of the manor.
After sampling the finest wines of the Maipo Alto valley at Perez Cruz we continue to the legendary Concha and Toro winery in Pirque. An interesting tour awaits us, covering the company history while walking through the extensive vineyard grounds. We visit the famous wine cellar, home to many legends, then enjoy a special tasting session of four varieties of the vineyard's prestigious, internationally-aclaimed Marques de Casa Concha wine. The wine is accompanied by a selection of cheeses, nuts, dry fruits and freshly baked breads.
After the tasting we enjoy a delicious lunch in one of Pirque’s local restaurants, Tesoros de Chile. A beautiful restaurant housed in a heritage-rich Chilean casona from the nineteenth century, Tesoros de Chile was originally the house in which the estate of Pirque was administered. The house is decorated with elements of Chile's most important cultures and is home to a delicious tasting menu with recipes from different regions of the country, offering an entertaining and authentic journey throughout Chile and its different cultures.
The tour then continues with a visit to the Aquitania Winery*, discovered in 1984 by two Bordeaux residents looking for high-quality Chilean land to plant a vinyard. Here we’re taken on a tour of the vinyard and told of its successful history. After visiting the wine cellar, we enjoy an exquisite tasting of their different wines before being driven back to our hotel in Santiago.
* Aquitania Winery is closed on Saturdays and Sundays. If you book the tour on one of these days, the morning’s second wine tour and lunch will be at the prestigious Santa Rita winery and the pm wine tour at Concha y Toro winery.
