Wine Tour description |
| The
tour starts with a transfer, at 8:15am from Santiago to San Fernando
(140Km. - 87 miles to the south). Once there, we will board the Tren
del Vino (1:30am) on a 20 minute ride to the Paniahue Station in Santa
Cruz along the main vineyards of the Colchagua valley. During the
ride, we will enjoy an exquisite wine* tasting of red and white wines
accompanied by a selection of assorted cheeses while listening to
a typical Chilean folk musician. There will also be a bilingual Spanish/English
narration of the trip. From Santa Cruz station – where guests
are welcomed by a young folk music group – we will go directly
on a visit to a vineyard in the valley (according to program) where
we will go deeper in the fascinating world of wine, learning about
its making and some tasting techniques at the very source. A typical
chilean lunch will then be served at the same place. After lunch we
will visit the Colchagua Museum which is one of the largest private
collections of a wide variety of exhibits in Latin America . The return
to Santiago is programmed at 5:30 by bus and we will arrive at 8:00
pm. in the city. |

Day 01 Santiago - Santa Cruz
08.15am. Santiago we take the Pan-American Highway
and drive south through the central valley in the direction of the
city of Santa Cruz in the Colchagua valley. The Colchagua valley
is a broad valley well known for its excellent grape-growing soil.
Before reaching the small city of Santa Cruz, we pass through several
small country villages surrounded by vineyards and get a feeling
of the more traditional way of live. Santo Cruz is in the heart
of the Colchagua valley, and is a quiet and provincial city. Its
nice central square is adorned by huge palm trees. Your colonial-style
adobe hotel is just off the square. There is a pool, a wine-tasting
area, beautiful inner gardens, and balconies off every room. In
the afternoon we have time to visit the Colchagua museum, which
is around the corner from the hotel. It is the biggest private collection
in Chile, exhibiting paleon- tological, archeological, pre- Colombian
and colonial Spanish artifacts.
Overnight at the Santa Cruz Plaza Hotel.
