The story
Seven generations of wine, inside the city
Founded in 1856 by mining entrepreneur Matías Cousiño, Cousiño-Macul is the oldest winery in Chile still owned and run by its founding family — seven generations later. Uniquely, its historic estate sits inside Santiago, in Peñalolén, with a century-old park, French-built 1872 underground cellars and the icon Antiguas Reservas Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s the perfect choice if you want a genuine, historic winery experience without a long drive. Tourevo arranges private visits with a house sommelier.
A century-old park
The estate’s historic park, with trees more than a century old, was once part of the grand Macul hacienda — a green oasis inside the modern city.
Antiguas Reservas & Lota
Taste the icon Antiguas Reservas Cabernet Sauvignon and the premium Lota — wines that have defined Chilean Cabernet for generations.
Tasting with a sommelier
A guided premium tasting in a private room: the family history, the Maipo terroir and pairings, with no group circuit and no rush.

“The Jaguar XF, the bilingual driver and an itinerary built exactly to our taste. We visited three vineyards, Valparaíso and the Neruda House without lifting a finger. We’ll be back.”
“I asked for a gastronomy itinerary and Tourevo made it happen: La Vega market, a chef class, a pairing in Colchagua. For a foodie, it’s the best tour I’ve ever done.”
“We did the Maipo Valley with the Cayenne and it was another level. The guide knew every viewpoint and every winery. Truly professional, door to door.”
Plan your visit
Cousiño-Macul tour · the only winery inside Santiago
If you want a wine tour in Santiago city without a long drive, Cousiño-Macul is the answer. It’s the only historic winery within the capital, the oldest still owned by its founding family, and it’s just 30 minutes from most hotels — ideal for a half day or as an elegant add-on to a city tour.
Visitors ask how old Cousiño-Macul is, what you taste and whether it fits a busy schedule. Founded in 1856, the estate offers the 1872 cellars, a century-old park and a sommelier-led tasting of the icon Antiguas Reservas Cabernet and the premium Lota, from USD 130 per person. Because it’s in the city, it pairs perfectly with a Santiago private tour the same day.
