Mass production and low cost winery
This winery is oriented to mass production and low cost. A lot of automatic equipment. They carry few top brands which aren’t part of the tasting. An impressive history around this winery.

Unprofessional Chile tour operator
My tour was reserve for 1.30pm the Chilenean tour operator called to pick me up at 2.30pm un hour after my tour m. By the time we supposed to be there we would be 2 hours late. I decided to get a private tour with a taxi. DO NOT RECCOMENDED VIATOR CILENEANBTOUR OPERATOR, VERY UNPROFESSIONAL

Great tour!
Exactly as promised. We were picked up on time by a lovely gentleman. There was only a total of 3 people on the tour and we made it to winery in good time. The wine tour itself was awesome. It would have been nice to have a little more time to explore the grounds but we made it back to our hotel within the 4 hour time allotment that was advertised.

Don't go!!! Rip-off!!
What a complete joke! We booked a half-day tour at the scheduled time of 10:45 a.m. We were picked up at our hotel at 8:30 a.m. We knew others were going too so figured that was ok. But then we were rushed into a tour at 10:30 a.m. and very sternly told that we had to be back at the parking lot by 11:50 a.m. in order to return. What!? We should have finished up early afternoon. We didn't even get to finished the wine tasting part of the tour!! To top it off, the driver Vanessa was completely unsafe. She spent more time texting and reading her phone than she did looking at the road. Don't go!!!!

Total rip-off!!
This "tour" is a complete joke! We booked a 10:45 a.m. half-day tour, which is when we figured the tour actually begins. Haha! We were picked up at 8:30 a.m. (which was fine, we knew others would be picked up as well). We were rushed to the winery for a 10:30 a.m. tour and told we had to be back in the parking lot to return by 11:50 a.m. We didn't even get to finish the wine tasting portion of the tour!! And as an extra bonus, the driver was completely unsafe. She was texting and talking on her phone more than she was watching the road. Don't go. Awful!!
Response from the operator: Thank you for the feedback on your experience. We regret every inconvenience deeply. We'll work to be better, MTO Tour Team

Half-Day Small-Group Santa Rita Vineyard Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santiago.
How much does Half-Day Small-Group Santa Rita Vineyard Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $52 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Santiago usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Half-Day Small-Group Santa Rita Vineyard Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Santiago is not rushed.
Is Half-Day Small-Group Santa Rita Vineyard Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 33 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Santiago, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Half-Day Small-Group Santa Rita Vineyard Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Half-Day Small-Group Santa Rita Vineyard Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Half-Day Small-Group Santa Rita Vineyard Tour?
+
Around 12 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Santiago can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Santiago and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Half-Day Small-Group Santa Rita Vineyard Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Santiago within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Santiago?
+
On Outty we rank every Santiago experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Maipo Valley Wine Region: 4 Wineries, Tastings & Foodie Tour, Valparaiso Port and Viña del Mar with Casablanca Wine Tasting, Tour to Valparaíso, Viña del Mar, Pablo Neruda Museum and Vineyard. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Santiago?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Santiago?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Half-Day Small-Group Santa Rita Vineyard Tour?
+
Included: Small-group tour (max 8 people per vehicle); Hotel pickup and drop-off; All taxes, fees and handling charges; 3 Wine tasting; and Tour only in your language. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Half-Day Small-Group Santa Rita Vineyard Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 156 listed pickup locations in and around Santiago. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Half-Day Small-Group Santa Rita Vineyard Tour offered in?
+
