Overall great experience...
Overall great experience if you want to escape the city and see the wineries. The drives were long but worth it and the pictures don’t do it justice. Great wine and great food. Our guides were very knowledgeable too!
Response from the operator: Thanks Samantha for your nice review! We are so happy that you enjoyed the wineries and food at Vik and Montes wineries. Best, Cristian Cosignani

An exceptional life experience not to be missed.
Rodrigo, our driver, met us at the collection point exactly on time and he kept us thoroughly entertained all the way to our destination at Montes. His military experience made us feel safe and his wine and geographical knowledge prepared us well for day ahead. Being a member of a wine appreciation club, I'd heard stories about the famous Purple Angel 2021 carmenere, which has an exceptional rating of 99 points and it didn't disappoint. Our tastings consisted of 5 very generous glasses of a Montes selection- all very different to each other and all of great quality. Lunch at the Montes restaurant followed and we both were delighted at the high quality of our main courses- rib eye and sea bass, not to mention good value value as well. A visit to Vina Vik followed with another 5 glasses of delicious wine in a very well furnished wine tasting room within a remarkable architectural setting. In summary, a great experience with a very well organised driver who kept us entertained for the entire day.

A Day in the Vines
We arrived in Santiago in early February 2026. We wanted an outstanding Chilean Wine experience. We chose Eco Tours (Cristian) to show us Vina Vik and Vina Montes - premium wine tastings and vineyard tours - together with a long lunch at Fuegos de Apalta (Mallmann). The right choice. Our driver was knowledgeable, careful, and engaging. These two are sensational vineyards. The wine is outstanding. (The La Piu Belle blend & the Purple Angel blend are just 2 to mention. Love the Carmenere grape.) Vineyard staff were very engaging and passionate. Lunch was excellent. Beautiful restaurant with an indoor grill and panoramic views across the vines. The four of us had a fantastic day. This was an excellent private tour.

World-Class wines and tour with Leo!
Our private tour to Montes and Viña VIK was absolute perfection from start to finish. Our guide and driver, Leo, was the ultimate professional—knowledgeable, attentive, and made the logistics of the day effortless. At Montes, our tour with Eric was deeply insightful, providing a great look into their iconic winemaking process. We also visited the breathtaking Viña VIK, where Catalina and Consuelo guided us through an unforgettable tasting in a truly stunning setting. A major highlight of the day was lunch at Fuegos de Apalta. Watching the chefs work over the open fire was a spectacle in itself. We had the Sea Bass and the Ribeye Steak, both cooked to perfection over the flames—the smoky flavors were incredible and paired beautifully with the local wines. This tour is a must for anyone visiting the region. Thank you to Leo and the entire team for a five-star experience!
Response from the operator: Thanks Shawn for you great review on the tour, winieres, tasting, lunch and Leo as a local guide. Best, Cristian Cosignani

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Colchagua VIK and Montes Wineries Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santiago.
How much does Private Colchagua VIK and Montes Wineries Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $395 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 Private Colchagua VIK and Montes Wineries Experience take?
+
Plan for about 11 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 Private Colchagua VIK and Montes Wineries Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 28 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 Private Colchagua VIK and Montes Wineries Experience?
+
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 Private Colchagua VIK and Montes Wineries Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Colchagua VIK and Montes Wineries Experience?
+
Around 10 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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Colchagua VIK and Montes Wineries Experience 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 Private Colchagua VIK and Montes Wineries Experience?
+
Included: Wine tasting and tours; Bottled water; and Alcoholic beverages. Not included: Tips for driver and guide; Dinner; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private Colchagua VIK and Montes Wineries Experience include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 31 listed pickup locations in and around Santiago. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Private Colchagua VIK and Montes Wineries Experience offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Colchagua VIK and Montes Wineries Experience?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Private Colchagua VIK and Montes Wineries Experience if the weather is bad?
