Valparaiso heritage interpretation center. New attraction in the only UNESCO Heritage Port of the Pacific Coast of America. Join us for a guided tour inside an antique building, experiencing why Valparaiso is an exceptional testimony to the early phase of globalisation in the late 19th century, when it became the leading commercial port on the sea routes of the Pacific coast of South America. Visits during the morning by Appointment only, minimum 10 people. Reservation Required. From Monday to Saturday.
The owners use the house to present the history of South America, Chile and Vlaparaiso in a wonderful way. You can only be impressed by the amount of care and hard work that has gone into the project, and by the enthusiasm of the presenters. A most enjoyable visit, highly recommended.

Established in 1989 by Thierry Villard as Chile’s first family premium boutique wine company. Over the last three decades, it has consistently been recognized as one of the best producers of the Casablanca Valley. Over the last decade, using the Valley’s exceptional terroir and unique characteristics, the new generation has introduced innovating winemaking techniques to create new super premium wines of structure and elegance.
Visited on a "uncorked" wine tour, was very enjoyable, amazing wines and scenery friendly staff and facilities

Casona Veramonte is a meeting place, where we create unique and unforgettable experiences around the good things in life: family, food, friends and the finest wines.
Our tour stopped here for a couple of hours to taste some of their different wines. Both white and reds were offered. We looked at where wine is made in at the facility and strolled through the vineyard where some of the small grapes were starting to blossom.

This four-story home, offering 360 degree views of the city, is highlighted by "the jar of smoke," a round, post-modern fireplace designed by Neruda himself.
Neruda created this home with his imagination. He enjoyed collecting items and finding creative ways to make them fit in. Every surface has a thoughtful touch to it. There is audio on most items. The house itself is without comparison, truly beautiful. I felt inspired just being there. I also bought the book on the house since you can’t take photos (it is called La Sebastiana by the Neruda Foundation).

This turn-of-the-century palace pays homage to the city's 16th century roots and currently houses the Fine Arts Museum.
The great thing about this museum is that is situated in a super interesting house which still has some of the period furniture and you get to see the original master bathroom! The art collection did not include known to me artists but you could tell these were artists influenced by famous artist. Truly interesting though we're the works by Chilean artists and the the works of artists from all over but with valparaisan and Chilean subjects. In addition, there are great views of the city from the windows,

A Chilean mansion restored as a museum and movie theater.
Took a short tour of the restored palace conducted by a few students. Nice to see investment in the history of Chile.

Originally the home of the wealthy Délano family in the early 20th century, this impressive building was acquired by the local Municipal Authorities in 1985, and converted into a museum. Focus in two principal collections is a natural history department dedicated to Chile's native fauna and flora; and an archaeological department offering a permanent display related to the indigenous peoples of Northern Chile, the Aconcagua region and the Mapuche in the south of the country. The museum also houses one of the most important collections in the world related to Easter Island, including the only genuine Moai statue in the whole of continental Chile, outside in the museum garden. Guided tours are available in both Spanish and English.
You can't miss this place with the giant Moai greeting you from the outside. It has a more official title which is the Museo de Arqueología e Historia Francisco Fonck. So who is Mr. Fonck? He was a Prussian anthropologist who was quite a collector. He lived between 1830 and 1912. The first thing you see from the outside is the giant Moai which you might recognize from Easter Island. Inside, the Fonck has an excellent exhibit on the history of Chile that is infused with plenty of art by the indigenous people of South America including the Rapa Nui from Easter Island.

Viñamar is in the Casablanca Valley in Chile. It is a beautiful vineyard with 2 kinds of grapes, chardonnay and pinot noir. They make excellent sparkling wines. We took the tour and a wine tasting of 3 sparkling wines, extra brut, brut unique and rosé. All were great. Then we went to their bistro which I will review later.

Short-term and permanent exhibitions of prominent contemporary Chilean and foreign artists living in Valparaiso, an attractive city that has inspired much Latin American art. Paintings, sculptures, engravings, photos and books. We ship all over the world.
We have visited this gallery on our visits last two years in Valparaíso and bought very nice art and sculptures. The person who works there is always very helpful and accommodating especially when preparing the items to take home to Australia. A great and changing selection of artists and sculptures.
