Join us on an extraordinary three day trip to sample some of Chile’s internationally renowned wines in the enchanting Colchagua Valley. Together we'll explore the vineyards in style via walking, horseback riding or biking before spending the nights in luxury accommodations after full days of wine-induced decadence.
You will be picked up from your hotel in Santiago at 8:00 AM to visit the Colchagua Wine Valley, known for Chile's top wine labels. At VIK Winery, choose from horseback riding, trekking, or bicycling through the vineyards.
Next, enjoy lunch paired with VIK’s wines, set against the stunning Millahue Valley, showcasing local produce.
After lunch, relax before the vineyard tour and wine-tasting. Guides will explain VIK's viticulture and winemaking. Taste Milla Cala, La Piu Belle red, Icon VIK, and two barrel samples: Cabernet Sauvignon and Carménère.
Afterward, head to the hotel for dinner and rest.

We'll enjoy a 2-hour hike through the vineyard, taking in the stunning landscapes and local flora and fauna. Afterward, we'll visit the barrels for a wine tasting and a delicious country-style picnic with wine.
Following the picnic, we'll visit Clos de Apalta vineyard, known for its unique terroir and innovative gravity-fed winery. The hour-long experience concludes with a tasting of their exquisite wines.
