Exceptional gastronomy in an extraordinary natural landscape
The capital, Santiago, is most people’s introduction to Chile. With its street food (completo hot dogs, mote con huesillo, empanadas and more), neighbourhood parrillas, food markets, chic wine bars and sensational seafood restaurants, it’s an excellent city to begin or end any food and wine trip in Chile.
Chilean vineyards follow the country’s narrow geography and are concentrated in valleys between the coastal mountains and the Andes. Easily accessible north and south of Santiago, the central Chile Wine Region has evolved into one of the world’s most significant viticultural areas. The region produces exceptional cabernet sauvignon, distinctive carménère and crisp sauvignon blancs – all of which have garnered international acclaim.
We can arrange a visit to Montes Winery in Colchagua Valley to eat at renowned chef Francis Mallmann’s restaurant, Fuegos de Apalta. Or private tastings at famous Maipo Valley wineries like Concha y Toro and Cousiño Macul. Or perhaps you’re travelling with your family and you’d like us to plan you a scenic picnic during your horse riding and biking experiences. And there’s much more besides, including pisco bars in Valparaiso or Asado in the Chilean Lake District.
Whatever your tastes and preferences, let our expert team plan your personalised tour, introducing you to Chile’s best food and wine experiences.
