My Husband and I had a private tour of this beautiful vineyard. As someone who only drinks white wine in an area where they only make red wine it was really interesting to hear how both white and red wine is made and the difference. The Sauvignon blanc was very enjoyable and my Husband enjoyed the red wines. We would recommend a visit.

Horseback Rides Santa Cruz, was the first trail ride available in Colchagua Valley and Santa Cruz. I am an US citizen living in this area. We begin with a short ride up a hill to a picnic bench area which has a lookout over Santa Cruz and Colchagua Valley. The ride lasts about 3 hours, and includes transportation, gloves with chaps, and wine and cheese while enjoying a breathtaking view. We have both english and spanish horsemen to assist the whole way.

I was looking for a more individual wine tasting experience, found OWM online and can 1000% recommend!! It started with a very warm welcome by Antonio, he explained everything in detail and very entertaining from the area, the different grapes and the process of the 2 different fermentations. Later we tasted 7 “pure” wines of which afterwards we created our own blend. What a special experience! Thank you very much, Antonio and much further success with OWM!!

We invite you to walk the vineyard and taste a good winemaker, to sit with a glass 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and to know how this wine is elaborated hidden between hills and valleys. Come and listen to the entertaining stories that surround this vineyard while accompanying your glass with delicious cheeses or if you prefer, with delicious recipes from our land.
The owners of this small winery gave our group of six friends a personal and memorable tour (with a fluent English interpreter) of their vineyard and winery, barrel and bottle tastings, and a wonderful lunch of delicious Chilean food, one of best winery experiences I have ever had. Their wine is superb. The winery is a little difficult to find, but well worth it!
