You will be picked up from your hotel in Santiago at around 8:00 am to begin your journey towards the beautiful Colchagua Wine Valley, home of some of Chile's most recognized names in wine. Our first stop in the Valley is VIK winery where we will enjoy a horseback riding excursion through the vineyards.
Then, we will savor a memorable lunch paired with VIK’s own wines and accompanied by the postcard-like view of their vineyard and the Millahue Valley. Here, your meal is designed by well-known Chilean chef Rodrigo Acuña Bravo, to highlight the region’s local produce as well as VIK’s wines.
After lunch, take some time to relax around the pool, and enjoy other services offered at VIK before boarding an SUV to tour VIK vineyard and winery. Your guides will share how their philosophy of precision viticulture is employed in the grape fields and later in the wine-making process itself. Your tasting will include VIK’s vintage and three barrel varieties: a Cabernet Sauvignon, Carménère, and Syrah.
Then you head towards your hotel to enjoy dinner there and get a well-deserved rest.
