Chilean Winelands Luxury Holidays & Tours

The rich and fruitful valleys surrounding Santiago entice travellers time and again with their world-class wineries, enchanting colonial architecture and gentler pace of life.

Luxury Travel in the Chilean Winelands

With the first vines planted in the mid 16th century by Spanish conquistadors, Chile’s history of wine production outstrips California’s by some 200 years. French grape varieties such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon were introduced in the 19th century, and these remain the most popular types of wines produced today.

Maipo Valley 

Just a short drive south of the energetic capital, Santiago, the acclaimed Maipo Valley provides the perfect respite from the bustle of city life. Here you will be able to tour and taste some of the country’s most prestigious wines at traditional family-run wineries, all whilst discovering the secrets of grape cultivation and the wine-making process - all the way from vine to bottle. 

Millahue Valley 

Dotted with orchards and blanketed in vineyards, the sweeping valley of Millahue is less than an hours’ drive from the snow-dusted Andes and the Pacific coast. It’s here you’ll find the prestigious VIK estate and its wine-infused holistic spa.  

But wine holidays are not all about the wines. Staying in luxurious boutique hotels or charming colonial haciendas, you’ll experience the region’s warm hospitality, age-old country traditions and delicious local cuisine. You’ll explore the photogenic countryside on horseback, by bicycle or on foot, and in the evening, retire to watch the sun setting over the vineyards and distant mountain peaks. 

Combine your Winelands holiday with the Lake District, Patagonia and the Atacama for the complete Chile experience. 

When is the best time of year to do a Chilean wine tour? 

Thanks to a year-round Mediterranean-style climate, a trip to Chile's wine regions can be enjoyed at any time of year. That being said, a great time is during the wine harvest (late February to early May) when the autumn colours are on display and there are festivals offering grape stomping, local music and wine tastings.
