Top 10 Wine Tours & Tastings in Valle Central, Valle Central

July 1, 2021 Myesha Cogley

Chile's Valle Central, a verdant valley tucked between the Andes and the coastal mountain ranges, has a mild climate and moist soil perfect for grape growing. Made up of four distinct wine regions, Maipo, Rapel, Curico and Maule, the area is criss-crossed by well-traveled wine roads. At the northern end of the valley is Maipo, the oldest of Chile's wine regions, famous for its Cabernet Sauvignon. At the opposite end is Maule, which still grows Pais, the first grape brought to South America.

I booked this tour but the operator could not give me enough information so I could cover the gap days before and after their tour. The back and forth went on for days. I need to know where I am staying first and last night, they won't tell me until I give them my reservations for the dates before and after. WHAT?!?! Now, I've completely run out of time. So, I cancelled my own plans to see Auckland, New Zealand, so I could sit on a computer and make my own travel arrangements. What part of "this is my last day with internet connectivity" is not understandable? Not ready for prime time.

Sean was awesomely the best of the bestest - very highly recommended!!! We toured Valparaiso and Vina del Mar with him, and he dropped us off at Santiago for our cruise embarkation the following day. That was our first trip to South America - our pre-cruise tour, as we cruised Chile, Antarctica, Falkland Islands, Argentina, Uruguay - still so many places to explore in this area. We will definitely come back, and use Sean's company again...

Recently my wife, my daughter and I took a trip to Chile. We were going to be in Santiago for a day in between traveling from Patagonia to San Pedro de Atacama. We were referred to FoodTrip to provide tour guide services as we wanted to spend some time in the wine region and visit Valparaiso. Our day was very full. Keryma was our guide and we could not have been happier. Our day started first visiting a local restaurant for a bite of breakfast. Truly authentic. Then off to a local winery. I have been to many wineries but never had such a wonderful time. This was a very small winery where we were met by the owner. We spent a couple of hours enjoying the day, the wine and the company. How fortunate we were to have had that experience. From the winery we drove to Valparaiso where we had a late lunch at one of the most unique and interesting restaurants in Valparaiso. It is not often one has the experience to have the chef/owner greet you and then prepare super good food to order. Following our lunch was tour of Valparaiso. I wished we would have had more time there. So to sum it up, if you are looking for the local experience with excellent guide services I highly recommend FoodTrip. A special thank you to Keryma. My wife, my daughter and I feel we made a very good friend.
