Wine Tours in Chile

For first-time visitors, Tourevo's Casablanca + Colchagua Premium Wine Route (USD 265, full day, 10h) is the best single-day private wine tour in Chile: it combines Casablanca's cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir with Colchagua's icon Carmenère and Cabernet, plus a 5-course pairing lunch. Travelers with more time should pair it with the Maipo Valley half-day to cover Chile's three benchmark valleys.

Maipo Valley is 30–45 minutes from downtown Santiago by private vehicle (closest, classic Cabernet). Casablanca Valley is 70 minutes (cool-climate whites, en route to the coast). Colchagua Valley is 2.5 hours south (Carmenère, the official Wine Route). Elqui Valley is a 1-hour flight + 1.5h drive (high-altitude pisco country, recommended as a 2-day extension).

All Tourevo wine tours include: hotel pickup and drop-off in a Jaguar XF, Porsche Cayenne or MG3 Hybrid+ from our owned fleet; bilingual chauffeur-guide (Spanish · English · Portuguese); pre-booked private winery visits with sommelier-led tasting; tolls, fuel, insurance and on-board water/snacks. Lunch and winery entrance fees are quoted per person and paid directly to each venue (we book everything in advance).

Colchagua Valley is the world's reference for Carmenère — Chile's signature grape, originally from Bordeaux and rediscovered in Chilean vineyards in 1994. The valley's flagship single-vineyard Carmenères come from Apalta (Viña Montes Alpha M, Viu Manent Single Vineyard, Lapostolle Clos Apalta). Maipo Alto produces a structured, more Bordeaux-style Carmenère.

Yes — all premium Chilean wineries require advance booking for private tastings (Concha y Toro Marqués de Casa Concha, Santa Rita 120, Viña Montes Apalta, Lapostolle Clos Apalta, Vik). Walk-ins are usually limited to the public visitor center. Tourevo confirms slots within 24 business hours and locks in pairing-lunch reservations at the same time.

March to May (Chilean autumn) is harvest season — most photogenic, with grape picking and crush activity at every winery. December to February is dry and warm with full vineyard canopy. June to August offers pruning views and indoor cellar focus, often with lower rates. Tourevo operates wine tours 365 days a year.

Tourevo's private wine tours from Santiago range from USD 120 per person (Concha y Toro Night Tour, half-day) to USD 265 per person (Casablanca + Colchagua premium, full day with pairing lunch). All prices are per person, in a private group of 1–4 travelers, and include the chauffeur-guide and Jaguar XF transport. Larger groups receive a tiered discount.
