Tour Overview
Enjoy a fascinating journey through the historic and hidden places where Chilean wine was born with this full-day wine tour. Learn about and enjoy with all five senses the Chilean wine history without leaving Santiago.
The Chilean wine history started centuries ago when the Spanish conquistador Pedro de Valdivia, in a letter to King Carlos I of Spain the 4 of September of 1545 says: "We request vines and wines to evangelize Chile". 460 years later, that date, September 4th, was chosen to annually celebrate the Chilean National Wine Day.
This personalised experience takes place in Yungay neighbourhood where the first vineyard in Chile was planted, appreciated for its architectural, cultural, historical and, above all, human wealth.
The Yungay neighborhood, Cradle of Chilean wine, offers you a delightful contrast between the modern architecture of its avant-garde museums and the cultural centers located in unique buildings from the early 20th century. Cobbled streets, theatres, palaces and churches along with social-critical colorful graffitis and cottages that have remained unchanged since 1840 and maintain the style and decoration of the 19th century.
