I LOVED this wine tour! I've never been to Napa, but my boyfriend has a few times and he said this…read morewas on par with the napa experience. We found this place on trip advisor and we're a bit wary of it the $195/person was worth what we were getting. I was also nervous when I didn't get any confirmation from my deposit on PayPal. Our guide, Cristian, arrived at our hotel around 8am in a very nice bus and we proceeded to pick up the other guests at their hotels. On the way through the city, Cristian provided a "city tour" and tons of interesting information. This continued after we left Santiago and travelled through the countryside on the way to Casablanca valley. The wineries we went to were great (Loma Larga, Bodegas RE, and Morandé). We purchased wines at the first two! Note: LOma ships back home for free but Bodegas doesn't offer shipping) The lunch was four courses of delicious bread, poké, steak and risotto, and dessert with sparkling wine tasting! We left and we're back at our hotel by 5:30 in time to get ready for our evening plans! I would HIGHLY recommend this Uncorked tour, it is WELL worth it. Cristian is starting his own tour company on the coast in Valparaiso, "Coast of Poets" so he won't be touring any longer sadly.

Well, they will NOT let you anywhere in the winery without a tour, except the gift shop and restaurant. So that was too bad. I ordered pizza, and it was a gloppy mess of gooey cheese. Very soggy crust. Not good at all. A long trip for a sad experience overall.

I won't spoil it by describing other than the grounds and cellars are worth the trip alone and the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. They do tours in English, spanish and portuguese all at different times so pay attention to that when you sign up. Plan at least 3 hours for your visit. You'll probably want to stay longer than that. Salut!

Every first Tuesday of the month I head over to Bicicleta Verde with a group of friends to pick up…read morea bike and ride around and discover the city -- for free! Why the first Tuesday of every month? La Bicicleta Verde supports Critical Mass, the international bikers rights movement, giving both locals and tourists the opportunity to use their bicycles to join the city's cycling activists. This is by far one of the most fun (and free) activities you can do while in Santiago. After you pick up your bike (in exchange of an ID and phone number) you will go to Plaza Italia where you will meet up with hundreds of local cyclists (including baby ciclists as well as dogs! ) there will be a short speech from a representative of Furiosos Ciclistas to get you pumped up and explain the route (the route changes every month) and then you are off! Bikers join along the way, accumulating up to a couple thousand cyclists by the end. During the 1 hour journey throughout Santiago, you will sing, ring your bike bells loud, in unison, while running red lights and in general, disobeying common traffic laws. Thousands of singing cyclists not obeying traffic laws, you say? Don't worry, this outing is VERY safe and the group has a police escort at all times. Just remember to bring a bike light, ask for a helmet from the Bicicleta Verde crew and get ready for a fun night! To warm up, start practicing your Chilean "gritos" now. To get you started, here is one of the chants: "Somos caleta, andamos en bicicleta" Important: If you are feeling like you might be lost at anytime, look out for the green Bicicleta Verde bicycles (they stand out) and you know you are in good company. Also, make sure to stay in a group, as you don't want to speedily crossing a red light by yourself. As you finish, meet up with the Biciverde crew and head back to their office together.

My second food tour in Santiago, FoodyChile is a little bit more high end and the price was a…read morelittle higher than the other tour. We also walked further, experienced more and spent more time together. Worth it. This tour took us through some of the markets, a long walk through Parque Forestal and stops along the way for Mote Con Huesillo (a very refreshing peach drink), empanadas, ice cream, and a platter of shrimp, ceviche and beef tartare. Plenty of booze to drink including an excellent beer and wine. Along the tour, led by the very entertaining Samy, we saw the sights and some of the places that make up Santiago's culture including the park, the Cerro Santa Lucia, a few neat neighborhoods and ending up near Bellas Artes. There was no language barrier - she spoke excellent English.

I choose the Santiago tour and winery first because I wanted to explore the and at the same drink some wine. Now here's what's cool my flight got delayed from Mexico city to Santiago and I had already booked w chili dream tours and was afraid I was going to loose my money. I emailed and called and the tour coordinator Sean easily made the adjustment and rescheduled us. Points for flexibility. So I arrive into Santiago and we begin the tour. Sean the tour guide pulls up in a large 7 passenger vehicle lots of space to relax. I was provided with a water and we went off into the city. Sean took us around the city of Santiago he's like walking Wikipedia this guy not only knew the history of the city he knew the city nightlife and gave great suggestions on where to go and what to eat. So back to the tour I saw all the major spots Santiago had to offer - San Cristobal hill the mountain w statue of virgin Mary. Amazing views and photo ops of the city its a must. We then saw the city center and where the president lives the whole té Sean filled us up with so much history info I kind of felt like he should be working for the history chanel because he knew his sh$*. From there we traveled to the undurraga winery great tour where you got an overview of the process and you get to see all the equipment on what it takes to make this great tasting wine. And of course you get to drink wine at the end! With such a good experience that day I immediately booked another tour w Sean for the day after. Now extra points for this tour company. My freind got sick hours before we were supposed to take the tour and Sean was like no problem and rescheduled it! Wow 2 for 2 on this company for keeping the customers needs in mind. We finally was able to do the vina del mar /valparaiso / Casas del Bosque winery tour. We were able to travel to the coast and see the beaches cool thing about Sean he will give you options depending on what you like he will take you to those parts in the city we choose the casino and had about 30 min to kill and gamble, next off was valparaiso I really loved this part of the tour Sean took us in and out of the streets to see all the art and history of the city we stopped to eat at a restaurant. Cade turri w a view of the city and that was amazing as well as the food Omg. Last stop was the winery Casas del Bosque very beautiful place looks like a location you can maary someone or take on a great date. So all in all chile dream tours picks great locations, Sean is a great host who speaks fluent English, Spanish and Portuguese. They will even do custom tours! Be sure to call and ask for Sean and ask as many questions as possible he will have an answer except for coquitas and strawberries but he says he's looking into it lol.

This is the second oldest winery in Chile founded in 1856. Used to be 1000 hectors large but now…read moreit's about 100 quite interesting thing is that it is located right in the middle of the city. Before arriving I thought I was lost because I could not understand how that would be a winery in the middle of the city, but it was, and it is really beautiful. The staff here was so sweet and I tasted some really really good wines at a fraction of the cost of those in California. I'm talking $10-$20 bottles that are absolutely fantastic. You will enjoy this place.

I enjoyed the wines here and getting to tour a winery that, unlike the ones in CA, wasn't built in…read morethe past 20-50 years. There's almost 150 years of history behind this place, and the facilities and wines show that. What made my visit even more enjoyable was doing it through La Biciclete Verde (https://labicicletaverde.com/tour/bike-wine-tour-cousino-macul-vineyard/), which pairs a tour of the winery with a bike tour of the vineyards, including a tasting under the trees and a tasting after the tour. Wines: I loved the Sauvignon Gris, which I'd never tried before. It tasted like a crisper and even less sweet Sauv. Blanc. I really enjoyed the Chardonnay, which is unusual for me. I found the Syrah to be very good. But my favorite was the Lota red blend, which I had an opportunity to try in their wine bar, and absolutely worth the ~$15 for a glass (the bottles retail for about $80). Facilities: With that 150 years of history, there are buildings here that have survived from day one, severe Chilean earthquakes notwithstanding. The wines aren't aged in the original cellars anymore due to a mold that's taken hold in them, but because of Chile's antiquities laws, all of the original fermentation vessels remain, as well as endless rows of barrels down in the dungeons. There's an impressive combination of the new (modern PLC-controlled stainless steel processing equipment) on grounds hosting some 80+ year old vines that are still watered by redirected streams from the Andes. The People: Our guide Adriane was very informative and gave the tour in a Spanish that I could completely understand (the Chilean dialect can be difficult to those of us so used to the Mexican variety). The wine bar staff were very helpful in answering additional questions, and of course, providing that lovely, decanted Lota red. Getting There: An easy 30 min Metro ride from greater central Santiago, followed by a ~$5 cab ride, which is even cheaper if you get off at the right stop. And for leaving, an employee was giving ~$1.50 rides back to the Metro in her Chrysler minivan.
