Don Maximiano Vineyard

This 19th-century vineyard, with a reputation for world-class red wines, veers from the Chilean norm in that it’s planted on steep slopes rather than on plains.

Kingston Family Vineyards

In the early 1900s, mining engineer C.J. Kingston left his home in Michigan looking for gold in Chile. Generations later, his descendants are showing the same pioneering spirit in exploring new frontiers in Chilean winemaking. Growing red wine grapes in a valley known for whites, Kingston Family Vineyards has been hailed as Winery of the Year by Wine & Spirits Magazine.

Attilio & Mochi - Passionate Winemakers

We are a Brazilian couple, who left our home country to build a dream in Casablanca. Our hands are in every part of the process from vineyard to bottling. Sustainable focused and eco-minded, we built the winery based on recycled shipping containers and the irrigation system is powered by solar energy. We craft cool climate, coastal, world-class wines, on a human scale. Our wines are always ranked among the best in the country. The AM Malbec was recently awarded as The Best Malbec in Chile for the second time. Franc is the real boss and often joins the visitors, but you should never pet him. This is a privilege reserved only for us :-) IMPORTANT: We do not have "open doors" and have visitors by appointment only.

Took the tour on the recommendation of our hotelier. This lovely Brazillian couple moved to Chile in 2011 to pursue their dream of becoming winemakers. This is a true "mom and pop" operations which puts out about 12K bottles annually, themselves. The wife (Angela) speaks perfect English. Because her husband (Marcus) always wanted to make red wine, these are the couple's signature wines in a valley known for its white wines. Angela revels in their beginnings when most locals told her and Marcus that they were fools to grow red grapes in the Valley. But it turns out their wines are some of the most renowned in the country (get her to tell you the story when Costco came a knocking). Prices are a little high, but Angela says they're worth it. Definitely recommend.

Vina Errazuriz

Reviewed By mncrbest - Stroud, United Kingdom

If you only make one winery visit whilst visiting Chile this is the one.No question.Wonderful wines,excellent guided tour,fantastic tasting and quality and well presented food all handled with skill and professionalism. Nothing but praise. The tasting was of seven wines with my two favourites being the 2017 Aconcagua Alto Carmenere and then the incomparable 2016 Don Maximiano Founders Reserve.OK so they all were very good but these two were the best.Cold buffet lunch which highlighted tender rare beef and sweet cured salmon followed by masses of fruit. The estate stretches as far as the eye can see with avocado and almond groves high up on the hillsides surrounding the modern futuristic winery which overlooks the original property below. A remarkable visit.

Casa Valle Vinamar

Reviewed By SIBARITA0305 - Santiago, Chile

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.
