The capital city is the heart of the wine producing area. By visiting its valleys one not only learns the wine manufacturing process and teases one's palate with the exquisite "reds and whites", but also learns about traditional Chilean rural customs and visits the elegant mansions built by the vineyard owners in the early 20th century.
 
This is an "intoxicating" fun experience displaying the degree of development of the Chilean wine industry, which has wisely combined the fertility of its valleys (sown with fine European varietals) with applied French technology and the expertise of renowned oenologists. The clearly visible result of this combination of factors is wine of indisputably high quality and well-earned international prestige.
 
These 11 Routes in the country have one common denominator: a journey through the world of wine, from the production process to the first tasting. You will get to know on your trip; wineries, picturesque villages, vine growing landscapes that will bring you closer to history and to the traditions of the rural world of Chile.
The natural conditions of the country; its mountain ranges, the countryside and its geography in general, give it its own identity; they act as perfect complements that surround and add expected enchantment to the journey.
 
Eleven routes thru eleven valleys invite you to discover and enjoy encounters as varied as the aromas of the wines produced in Chile.
 

Maipo Valley:

Located in the centre of the country following the course of the Maipo River and neighboring the Metropolitan region, you will find the area with the longest wine growing tradition in the country and where the first vineyards were established.
With a Mediterranean climate, well marked seasons, hot summers and mild winters, and without ice on normal years, Cabernet Sauvignon is the most outstanding grape.

Colchagua Valley:

This valley has always had a true agricultural calling. It is land blessed to produce red grapes. Warm and naturally dry but with an abundance of water supplied by the Tinguiririca and Colchagua river; it is a narrow agricultural valley that starts at the foot of the Andes and extends in a westerly direction to the Pacific Ocean.
At the end of 1996 the first wine route was created in the Colchagua Valley with the aim of promoting through tourism this ‘Guarantee of Origin’ as a production area of fine wines.
 

Casablanca Valley:

It is a pre-coastal valley located on the coastal plain on the route between Santiago and Valparaiso.
Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and Merlot are the emblematic grapes of Casablanca and together they make up 90% of the total area planted. On this tour you can visit the huge wine cellars and boutique vineyards which are impeccable.
