Excellent wine tour day
The whole day was absolutely beyond any expectations we could have had. Starting off with meeting a local artist with homemade breakfast, every winery we visited, everything in between, the small boutique hotel with all the beautiful animals. Every moment of this trip was nothing short of magical. Shoutout to Gerald for being an amazing guide through the day. Honestly would highly recommend. Phenomenal day.
Response from the operator: Hello again Eric, what a joy to read your comments and knowing that you enjoyed your day. Thanks so much for your rating. Very important and rewarding for us. I’ll congratulate Gerald on your behalf. All the best, Juan

Authentic wine tour not to be missed.
This is a highlight of our trip to Chile. We were picked up from our accommodation and were eating breakfast (with wine!) less than an hour later. Gerard and Felipe speak fluent English and are both super knowledgeable about the area and wine. They were great company and made this tour very personalised ensuring that we enjoyed every minute. There was no rushing or clock watching everything was relaxed and at our pace. The authentic, local food we had for breakfast and lunch was delicious and plentiful. The wines chosen for us were high quality and we got to take home what we didn’t drink during the day. The trip was great value for money and we highly recommend it.
Response from the operator: Hello again Amanda!! So nice to read your comment. Thanks for the rating. We feel very proud of being considered a highlight of your trip to Chile. Very rewarding for us. Also very important to know that you enjoyed the high quality wines and the food. Nice! I’ll congratulate Felipe and Gerald on your behalf. Thanks again and all the best,

10/10 Experience
The whole experience was amazing. No language barrier for my wife and I as Gerald and Felipe both speak English and Spanish. They communicated the day before with clear instructions on pickup location. They arrived on time and had wine ready for us to enjoy. The breakfast and lunch provided was excellent. Home cooked meals that were both restaurant quality and very delicious. The four wineries we visited were all beautiful locations and elegant. The wines we sampled were all fantastic. Felipe and Gerald were very knowledgeable with the Maipo Valley area and the wines itself. We were not rushed at all. My wife and I pretty much had a personal tour and it was perfect. They dropped off us off at our hotel in the early evening and gave us a box of all the wine we sampled that day. Highly recommended!
Response from the operator: Hello again Matt, how nice you have enjoyed everything! Company, wine, wineries, Felipe and Gerald’s knowledge… It’s also very rewarding for all the team to read that “ The breakfast and lunch provided was excellent. Home cooked meals that were both restaurant quality and very delicious.” That is our goal that you feel like at home but get to try excellent food and wine. I’ll congratulate everyone involved in your behalf. Thanks again and best wishes, Juan

Best Wine Tour Ever!
This was top five best wine tours I have ever taken. This was a full day wine tour. We were picked up in a comfortable bus and taken into the Maipu Valley. We started with a lovely breakfast at an artist's compound. This was a good starter because we not only filled our bellies, but we also got to know the other guests before we began drinking. After that, we went to multiple wineries. We sampled 14 different wines!! Lunch was also fantastic. We ate in another artist compound and were served fresh farm to table food. Again, this was great to soak up the first half of the days' wine. The best winery was the last one for sure. And finally, our guide, Gerald, was great. Just fantastic! He really enjoys his work as evidenced by his enthusiasm throughout the tour.
Response from the operator: Hello again Rita, it makes us very happy that you enjoyed the experience! Especially since you told us that you were recommended by a friend who had taken the tour before. Nice you liked the food as well. And of course the wine! I’ll congratulate Cony, Felipe, and Gerald on your behalf. All the best, Juan

Take the tour. It's a no brainer
As a group of people with little to no knowledge of wine it was hands down the best tour of any kind I have been on. Carolina is an absolute gem. She kept things interesting and gave us an incredibly fun education on the wines and culture of the region. Could not recommend more. 5 stars is not enough. It was a pleasure to spend the day with our new friend , the mayor of wine
Response from the operator: Hello Caroline, thanks a lot! So nice to read that you have learned a lot about wine while having fun. I’ll congratulate Carolina on your behalf. Thanks again and all the best, Juan

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Maipo Valley litle wine bus from Santiago: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santiago.
How much does Maipo Valley litle wine bus from Santiago cost?
+
Prices start at $262 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 Maipo Valley litle wine bus from Santiago take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Maipo Valley litle wine bus from Santiago worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 97 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 Maipo Valley litle wine bus from Santiago?
+
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 Maipo Valley litle wine bus from Santiago suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 9-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Maipo Valley litle wine bus from Santiago?
+
Around 34 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Maipo Valley litle wine bus from Santiago 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 Tour with 4 vineyards from Santiago., Valparaiso Port and Viña del Mar with Casablanca Wine Tasting, Santiago: Valparaiso, Viña del Mar & Casablanca Wine Tour. 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.
