Santiago wine tours in the Maipo Valley
The Maipo Valley wraps around southern Santiago, and several historic wineries (Concha y Toro and Haras de Pirque in Pirque, Santa Rita in Alto Jahuel, Undurraga in Talagante and Cousiño Macul in Peñalolén) welcome visitors for tastings. For each valley's history and grapes, see our Chile wine route.

Source: Civitatis, November 6, 2026; customer score out of 10, with the number of reviews in brackets. Going on your own is usually cheaper: at Concha y Toro the basic guided visit cost CLP 50,000 on the official site when we checked on October 21, but getting to Pirque is up to you. If you drive, remember that Chile's Law 20,580, known as zero tolerance, penalizes driving after drinking: with tastings, a tour with transfer makes sense.
Santiago wine tours to the Casablanca Valley and the coast
Casablanca is an hour's drive from Santiago, on the way to Valparaíso. You can visit it on its own or combined with the coast.
If your plan is a day on the coast, we compare the Valparaíso and Viña del Mar trip with walking tours and free tours of the hills in our guide to the Valparaíso and Viña del Mar day trip from Santiago.
| Tour | Length | What's included | From | Book |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Casas del Bosque winery | 4 h | Hotel pick-up, minibus, guide and wine tasting | US$101.20 | Book ↗ |
| Valparaíso and Viña del Mar | 10-12 h | Pick-up, transport and Spanish-speaking driver; stop in the Casablanca Valley; no meals (a tasting is not listed as included) | US$37.25 | Book ↗ |
Source: Civitatis, November 6, 2026. The coast trip is the most booked in this comparison (8.1 out of 10 with 2,136 reviews), but it only stops in Casablanca. If you want to taste, Casas del Bosque is the dedicated visit. To plan your coastal day, see Valparaíso in one day and things to do in Viña del Mar.

Practical tips
- Book ahead in high season: according to each page, winery tours can be booked until 5 to 24 hours before, only if spots remain.
- Cancellation: check each tour's policy; the Cousiño Macul visit is free to cancel up to 24 hours before.
- Language: the tours compared are guided in Spanish; if you need another language, check the English page of each tour.
- Weather: in summer the sun is strong in the vineyards; bring a hat, water and sunscreen.
- If you'd rather drive: see our guide to car rental in Chile and the Central Valley road trip, and leave the tasting to whoever isn't driving.
- More nature near Santiago: the Cajón del Maipo is an hour away and pairs well with Pirque.
