The story
Old-vine Malbec and a carriage through the vines
Founded in 1935 by the Catalan Viu family, Viu Manent is one of Colchagua’s most beloved estates and a benchmark for Chilean Malbec, made from old vines planted in the 1960s. The classic experience pairs wine with the estate’s charm: a horse-drawn carriage ride through century-old vineyards, a single-vineyard tasting of El Olivar Malbec and San Carlos Carmenère, a vintage carriage-and-car museum, and the acclaimed Rayuela restaurant. Tourevo arranges private full-day visits with a house sommelier.

“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.”
