About this experience
Ecotours Chile Private Tours has developed this superb experience for you, visiting Colchagua Valley from Santiago on private services visiting Los Maquis winery, and having a superb lunch with chef Pilar Rodriguez.
The Colchagua Valley is one of the world’s premier wine tourist destinations. Known for its beautiful vineyard-covered hills, hundred-year-old vines, enchanting colonial estate houses, and modern high-tech wineries, sets up a perfect atmosphere to enjoy a day trip from Santiago city.
Located in the southern half of the Rapel Valley, the Colchagua Valley has evolved over the last twenty years from being a calm stretch of farmland to becoming one of the largest and most active wine-producing regions in the country. The relatively low altitude of the coastal hills allows the Pacific breeze to mingle with the Andean winds, which cools the valley and prolongs the maturation period of the region.
