A great experience with Pablo starting off with a trip to market selecting our ingredients fresh from the stalls, followed by a trip to the kitchen where all the steps were explained and we got to join the fun of the preparation. All this was followed by a marvelous Meal with some amazing Chilean wines. Pablo was an all rounder with instructions, explanations and jokes. He was defintely part of the positive experience.. Highly recommended!!!

Chistián, the owner, is very friendly and is lovely to chat with. I have returned various times over the past four years just to say hello and browse through the beautiful artwork. Make sure to ask about the view from his balcony, truly one of my favorite in the area!

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,

Taking a Chilean cuisine class with El café Vinilo’s chef was by far one of the best experiences I had in Valparaíso . This is the only place in the city that introduces participants to the history and culture of Chile and its food.The participants get to cook 5 to 6 traditional Chilean dishes. Gonzalo the chef gives the class in Spanish and English.Pebre, Pisco Sour, Ceviche ( The Chef explains the difference between Chilean and Peruvian Ceviche) Charquican (one of the most important dishes in Chile) Chuchoca de Maíz and Puré de papas con Naranja y menta which is a mi of mashed potatoes with oranges and mint .Before the class starts, we get all the ingredients needed at the local market where you can find all the typical Chilean fruits and vegetables.The class includes enough food samplings for most people to not need lunch afterwards
My wife and I were taking Gonzalos cooking class on May 1st 2018. He was very friendly, the food was delicious and the class was informative. A very nice experience and a total recommendation. The class started at 9:30 when Gonzalo picked us up in the city. We drove to the market and Gonzalo bought the ingredients for the menu which had been coordinated before via email. After the market we drove to his house were the cooking class took place in his private kitchen. First we had a little breakfast together. After that we prepared different kinds of salt which we could take home afterwards. Then we prepared four dishes and pisco sour. Gonzalo was very friendly and helpful. He explained a lot about the chilenean kitchen and also tought as cooking techniques. Everything (except the frozen fish) was fresh. We started eating together with his wife, his father and his uncle. It was a very nice atmosphere. After the menu his uncle took out his harmonica and we found us singing german christmas songs and some schlager. Then (becuase I was really hoping to see the second half of the Champions League Semi-Finals) Gonzalo turned on the TV and we watched the game together. Gonzalo drove us home afterwards. A great day.
