    Wonderful wine tasting experience!

    This was a superb tour. We were taken to a very small wine producer and were treated to wine tasting in a beautiful, peaceful locaton. We were shown the wine making process literally one on one. There are only 27000 bottles of wine produced annually so the whole experience seemed very exclusive especially when we were taught how to secure the bottle top by the very process that was used, every bottle secured by hand. The wines were lovely and as we sat outside tasting them overlooking the beautiful vineyards we could hardly believe the beauty and peace surrounding us in the Loj winery. We then went on to the Santa Rita vineyard. This was so lovely, once again the views across the vineyards were amazing. We stopped for a quick wine tasting then went on to the Concha Y Toro winery where we tried three wines. It was a lovely day out and we learnt so much. Our guide was fantastic, nothing too much trouble for him and he ensured we had the best time. A tour not to be missed!

    Response from the operator: Dear Carole and Leonard Thank you so much for your beautiful and detailed revie!. I’m truly happy to hear that you and Leonard had such a wonderful wine experience and that the day felt special and memorable for you :) Moments like tasting wine surrounded by vineyards in such a peaceful setting are exactly what we hope our guests take with them. I’m also glad you enjoyed visiting Santa Rita and the other wineries — each one offering a different perspective on Chilean wine. Thank you as well for your kind words about the guiding. It was a real pleasure to spend the day with you, and I’m very happy to know you felt well taken care of throughout the experience. Thank you again for your trust and recommendation. I hope to welcome you back to Chile one day for more wine discoveries and beautiful moments. Stay safe in UK! Warm regards, Ignacio Pérez Gamboa City Trekking Guide

    From start to finish was...

    From start to finish was an amazing day with Ignacio. He took us to the Temple for a view of the city and two boutique wineries. He picked out a quiet place for lunch for authentic Chilean food. We got the opportunity to see most of Santiago throughout the day. Ignacio also talked about the culture and history of Chile.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for taking the time to write us this nice review Donald!! It was a pleasure to meet you both! I am glad that you have enjoyed the visit to the 2 wineries and the tasty chilean lunch. Keep travelling! All the best, Ignacio.

    Best wines

    I had a wonderful time on the tour, it happened it was another couple and myself so very much private tour. It was an excellent experience to visit boutique with series that are not typically included in tours around Santiago. Our tour guide Ignacio had a wealth of knowledge about the city, Chile, its history, and wines so he was able to answer all our questions and provide recommendations. The wineries we visited had the best wines I tasted in Chile and I went on a few winery tours so that's saying something. Highly recommend.

    Response from the operator: Hola :) Thank you so much for your wonderful review and recommendation. I’m truly happy to hear that you had such a great experience and that the day felt personal and enjoyable :) It was a pleasure to share the tour with you and to visit those boutique wineries together. I’m especially glad to know that the wines stood out among your experiences in the Maipo Valley, Chile - that means a lot!! I hope to see you again soon! Safe travels, Ignacio

    Our Ideal Day in Santiago

    Ignacio picked us up right on time and our first stop was Baha'i temple which gave us a beautiful view of Santiago from high up. The temple was also beautiful. Our next stop was at Vina Aquitania winery where we had a wonderful tour from Valentina. She showed us the vines, which were about to be harvested, and explained that they were a completely organic winery. She showed where and how the wine was made. We then tasted four very good wines while sitting outside on a beautiful day. We then moved on for a very nice lunch of some authentic Chilean food at a family owned restaurant. The food was plentiful and delicious. Our last stop was the Besoin winery. Tomas gave us an excellent tour, explaining how the wine was made and then we tasted four excellent wines in a beautiful setting. All in all it was a great day. Ignacio was an excellent driver and guide who showed us many interesting things around Santiago while on an excellent wine tour.

    Response from the operator: Dear Kurt, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I’m truly happy to hear that the day felt like your ideal experience in Santiago. This means a lot to me! It was a real pleasure to share the day with you and your wife Jacqueline, starting from the views at the Bahá’í Temple to the experience at Aquitania with Valentina, the relaxed lunch, and finishing at Besoin Wines with Tomás. I’m glad you enjoyed the balance between scenery, wine, and local culture. Thank you as well for your kind words about the guiding and driving — making the day smooth, enjoyable, and meaningful is always my priority. I really appreciate your trust and hope to welcome you back to Chile one day for more great wines and new places to discover. Warm regards, Ignacio Pérez Gamboa

    Interesting visit to two boutique wineries in the beautiful Maipo Valley

    A very busy day with our excellent guide, Ignacio. He was so knowledgeable and filled in lots of additional information about Santiago and Chile. We started the day with a steep climb up steps to the Bahá'í Temple. This is a stunningly beautiful modern building, set against the backdrop of the Andes. Inside, an inspiring and beautiful place for quiet contemplation. On to our first winery of the day. Ignacio took us away from the advertised itinerary to two boutique, family owned wineries, each with very different approaches to winemaking. We were happy to trust his judgement. The first was Besoain Wines. A very traditional approach, using French Oak barrels, which the owner makes himself in the local cooperage. We tried the Carmenere, Cabernet Sauvignons, a rose, and an unusual aged Riesling (2017), which was wonderful. All the wines were interesting and delicious. We stopped for a very tasty lunch at the rustic Restaurante La Vaquita Echá. At a large table in the centre sat the owners, surrounded by their extensive families. We had wonderful barbecued pork and lamb with fresh local salad. Our second winery was Vinos Lof ("Clan"). This is an ultra-modern building, set in the middle of the vineyard and surrounded on all sides by spectacular views of the mountains. We were show round by the owner's eldest daughter, who told us about her father's special approach to making and aging the wine. He uses no wooden barrels, and wine is made and aged in large concrete tanks. He believes you should taste the fruit without the intrusion of woody notes. The grapes are Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. We were joined by the owner as we tasted four wines, including a very interesting rose, produced from the Syrah. This was aged and oxidised to give a very dark pink wine with a unique, rich taste, almost like a Madeira. Tasting the two very different sets of wines, produced by very different techniques, was a great experience. The day completed with a drive back through the fantastic scenery, with the sun, now lower in the sky, beautifully illuminating the Andes. Thank you Ignacio. Great day!

    Response from the operator: Dear Ric, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed and generous review. Reading your description of the day truly brought a smile to my face. I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed the experience through the Maipo Valley :) It was a pleasure to show you around yesterday! I’m glad you appreciated the contrast between their winemaking philosophies in the boutique wineries (that diversity is part of what makes Chilean wine so interesting). I’m also happy you enjoyed the lunch at La Vaquita Echá Restaurant; it’s a place full of local character and Chilean tradition. Thank you again for trusting my suggestions for the wineries and for embracing the day with such curiosity and enthusiasm. It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you and Jeanette, and I hope to welcome you back to Chile one day for more wine discoveries and beautiful landscapes. Warm regards, Ignacio Pérez Gamboa Turismo City Trekking Guide

    Private Maipo Valley Wine Experience: 2 Premium Wineries & Lunch: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santiago.

    How much does Private Maipo Valley Wine Experience: 2 Premium Wineries & Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $290 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 Maipo Valley Wine Experience: 2 Premium Wineries & Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Maipo Valley Wine Experience: 2 Premium Wineries & Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 14 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 Maipo Valley Wine Experience: 2 Premium Wineries & Lunch?

    +

    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 Maipo Valley Wine Experience: 2 Premium Wineries & Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Maipo Valley Wine Experience: 2 Premium Wineries & Lunch?

    +

    Around 5 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Maipo Valley Wine Experience: 2 Premium Wineries & Lunch 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 Maipo Valley Wine Experience: 2 Premium Wineries & Lunch?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Private Tour in the first winery with 4 wine tasting; Premium Tour in the second winery with 4 wine tasting; Snacks; and Bottled water. Not included: On-board restrooms; and Tips (Not mandatory). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
