Winehouses in the valley of the river Maipo with lunch

We leave the hotel in the morning (departure time is confirmed after booking tours at the wineries). The wineries are located in the Maipo Valley 40 minutes-hour from downtown Santiago, southeast of the capital. In the late 19th century, with the discovery of nitrate in the Atacama Desert and the victory in the Pacific War, a flood of wealth poured into the country. The local aristocracy began to think about where to invest it and drew attention to winemaking, the valley of the Maipo River - the closest to Santiago and in it - one of the most favorable climates for growing red grape varieties. That is why the Maipo Valley is home to some of the country’s oldest, largest, most respected and well-known wineries.

The valley is located in the foothills of the Andes, so you will not only visit wineries, but also picturesque places, on the way we will stop at observation decks to take beautiful photos.

To visit are available wineries Concha and Toro, Causinho Macul, Santa Rita and many others. Before lunch, one of the wineries is visited, lunch in a picturesque village-style restaurant with typical Chilean cuisine, after lunch a second winery is visited.
