I LOVED this wine tour! I've never been to Napa, but my boyfriend has a few times and he said this was 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. read more

Uncorked Wine Tours really delivered on everything they promised. Very small group, unique wineries and excellent choice of the places where we stopped for lunch in the Colchagua region and Casablanca region. It is worth every penny. The tour guide was extremely nice and friendly. What a great experience!! I highly recommend booking with them if you want a truly unique winery visits experience. read more

Cooking class with Chef Felipe was the best! There is a morning tour through the multiple markets near Mercado Central...all teaming with energy and great ingredients for our lunch. Felipe was knowledgeable, engaging and helped our group of (6) to prepare an amazing lunch. We indeed will try the recipes back in the US. Just got back from the supermarket to grab Chancaca for our dessert recipe. Booking was a breeze, you'll need PayPal. Thank you Felipe for a fantastic day and a wonderful lunch and wine tasting! read more

We took the Casablanca Valley tour on August 9th and had a wonderful time! I can't recommend the tour enough! Sure, winter is the usual time to take a wine tour, but the valley was still absolutely beautiful. We were picked up from our hotel (and a bonus of going in winter, it was just my husband and I on the tour... typically 2-8 people). The van was nice and clean and they provided us with a bottle of water too which is a nice touch (esp when drinking all day). Our tour guide was incredibly nice and friendly and didn't mind when I slept on the 50 minute drive out to the valley. We stopped at Bodegas Le, Lorma Larga and Matetic Vineyard. Bodegas Re had my favorite wine, Loma Larga had the most beautiful farm and passionate tour guide, and Matetic had a beautiful cellar and acre after acre of beautiful vineyard. Lunch, which was included in the price, was absolutely fabulous. 4 course gourmet meal each with a wine pairing. It was a set menu, but no complaints here! Ceviche, crab stuffed pasta, cobber and butter cake, beef and polenta! I was a happy camper. All told the tour took from about 9am to 6pm and they even dropped us off right at the airport. In the end I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5, because the price was a tad high... but I would still recommend the tour. It's hard to put a price on the convenience of being driven around all day, the incredible lunch and the price of not having to drink and drive. Our guide was also really friendly and easy to hang out all day. Also note (and this isn't a downside) that each winery tour is given by the winery itself... and the tours are not private to your group.. you can have drop ins or other groups that meet up for the winery tours themselves... but this is nice because you hear from that company yourself. I wouldn't hesitate to book another tour with Uncorked, while expensive, it was worth the price (about 200/person USD).. and when will I have this opportunity again? read more

Fabulous cooking class with Francisco! A trip through Mercado Central with an education in Chilean products. His English was fluent and his humor kept us moving me mentally and physically. The space used for the class was a beautiful take on modern simplicity with an emphasis on minimalism that retained the warmth of home. His instructions and demonstrations were clear and visual as well as auditory. Next, we participated as sous chefs for a hands-on experience. The food was the best I have had yet in Chile. If you are even a minor foodie, do this. I do not cook. But I was fascinated and participated fully. Who knows? The orep was so easy, maybe I'll chef up in my own kitchen! read more

My friend and I took the Casablanca wine tour and it was amazing!! We're from the US so we chose the English-speaking tour. Our tour mates were lovely -- from Australia, NY and Colorado. Our guide, Christian, was fantastic. Very friendly and knowledgeable about everything from history to wine and beyond. We visited Loma Larga, Kingston Family and Bodegas Re wineries. The wine at all of them was fantastic! What was nice was that we were the only tour at the wineries, so we never felt crowded or rushed. If I ever go back to Chile I will take the Colchagua tour for sure! read more

This was an enjoyable tour, and the tour guide was engaging and knowledgeable, but in the end, but for the premium price, it needed something more. We took the Colchagua tour, which takes us 2.5 hours out of Santiago to a beautiful valley and into three wineries plus a restaurant. I think they chose very good wineries, although they could have made better use of the time in the van, for example, by showing off some of the materials, or at least pictures of them, that are discussed during the tour. I also should mention that we told them in advance of our need for vegetarian food. When we got to the lunch restaurant, only the sides were vegetarian, and they did not offer to let us get more than one side because there were no entrees. read more

My friend and I did the uncorked cooking class our first night in Santiago and had such a good time. We learned so much about Chilean food, culture and wine. This was a great way to learn about the Chilean flavors and food as well as a great way to have dinner one night while picking the brain of a local and getting recommendations and knowing that everything is fresh! I always wanted to learn how to make a ceviche and now I do!!! read more

We took the Casablanca tour and had an amazing day! We were picked up from our air BnB and spent the day with 2 other couples. It was very unpretentious and informative, perfect for people who like wine but may not know a lot about it. Jose was an excellent guide and chatted about the region and wines but still allowed us to nap in the drive home! We found it a nice way to see outside Santiago, visit some excellent wineries, and have a great lunch. Would highly recommend Uncorked and will do the tour again when we return! read more

My wife and I did the Colchagua Valley tour in early May, and it was the best experience of the trip. The tour picks you up from your hotel in a comfortable van, and room is limited to about 6-10 people including the guide and driver. We had 2 other couples with us and felt very comfortable. We toured 4 vineyards during the course of the day and enjoyed a spectacular lunch at Viu Manent. We never felt pressured to buy anything from any one of the places we visited (though we certainly left with a few bottles). The guide was very friendly and knowledgable and spoke multiple languages. If you are considering a wine tour in Chile, this trip is an absolute must. read more

Went for a private wine tasting of five different wines throughout the country of Chile. Jose lead the tasting and provided unique, and insightful information about each wine we tasted! Overall, great experience and highly recommend! read more

I attended the Uncorked cooking class with the female instructor. I have taken over 10 different cooking classes in the USA, Thailand, and Spain. This is probably my favorite course and was the highlight of my trip to Santiago. While the course was expensive, it was worth every penny. We made Ceviche and an excellent dish called, Chupe De Jaiba. Additionally, there were other things we made. The class was small (maybe 6 people max) so I was able to see how everything was made. Additionally, they give you wine. I was also introduced to a new spice (merken) by taking this class. Unfortunately, merken is hard to find in the United States so if you take this class, make sure you buy some merken at the local markets. I highly recommend this class. read more
