How you travel
Private wine tours or small-group departures from Santiago
Both formats use the same wineries and the same English-speaking guides. The difference is pace, privacy and budget — and which one fits your itinerary depends on how much of your Santiago time you want to dedicate to wine.
Private tours
Your own vehicle, driver and bilingual guide. Flexible pickup time from any Santiago hotel, freedom to add a second valley, and the option to design the day around a specific variety or producer tier once availability is confirmed.
See private toursSmall-group departures
Shared experiences from central Santiago for solo travelers and couples who want the efficiency of a fixed-departure tour. The most natural format for a single Maipo or Casablanca day.
