Ecotours Chile Private Tours has developed this superb experience for you, visiting Colchagua Valley from Santiago on private services
Wineries visited:
- Los Maquis
- Viña Montes for lunch
- Viña Clos Apalta, wine by glass NOT included
- Wine tasting at prestigious Neyen winery
The Colchagua Valley is one of the world’s premier wine tourist destinations. Known for its beautiful vineyard covered hills, hundred year old vines, enchanting colonial estate houses and modern high tech wineries, sets up a perfect atmosphere to enjoy a day trip from Santiago city.
Located in the southern half of the Rapel Valley, the Colchagua Valley has evolved over the last twenty years from being a calm stretch of farmland to becoming one of the largest and most active wine-producing regions in the country. The relatively low altitude of the coastal hills allows the Pacific breeze to mingle with the Andean winds, which cools the valley and prolongs the maturation period of the region.

We spent a fantastic day with Matthias on a tour of 3 vineyards to the south of Santiago. His willingness to share his knowledge of not only wine, but Chilean current events and history was very much appreciated. He was very motivated and helped us get the most out of all the stops along the tour. We highly recommend this tour and give Matthias all the credit! Len and Teresa Hudson, WI

Excellent experience. Rodrigo was a great guide and very knowledgeable. The wineries provided a good sampling of the Carmenere and Carmenere blends. Lunch at Monte was incredible and it is one of the top-rated wineries in the world. A very worthwhile trip for wine lovers.

We had a great trip to the Colchagua Valley from Santiago with Leo. The communication with the Ecotours team was clear when one of the Vineyards wasn't available for our date. Leo was extremely knowledgeable and answered all of our questions about Chile and wine. I was traveling with my grandparents, so this was the perfect way to easily see the countryside without having to deal with logistics and planning. The vineyards were all absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to return!

We had the best time on our private wine tour with our driver, Leo. He was punctual, professional, knowledgable, and genuinely kind. Leo knew so much about the history of Chile, which was helpful to us to understand more of the background than what we have already been told. We visited Clos de Apalta, Neyen, and Montes with lunch at Fuego de Apalta (a must!). The food was delicious. Overall, highly recommend Cristian and Leo for a private wine tour. Thanks for accommodating us!

I normally don’t write reviews but had to for this one as the experience truly exceeded my expectations. Folks, please ask for Matthias as your tour guide for this private trip! His knowledge of Chilean wines, vineyards, and the history of the region is incredibly impressive. Matthias was not only informative, but he was also super prompt and made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. It felt more like a conversation with a friend than a tour guide. If you're considering a wine tour, I highly recommend booking a private tour with Matthias—he’s truly the best!

Wonderful day in beautiful Chilean wine country. Spent full day on a private tour with knowledgeable, charming Matias. Well versed with wine, history and culture he safely and comfortably to some of the most beautiful places we’ve ever visited. Wines and lunch experience were excellent too. Be prepared for long drive, but excellent roads and scenery

I came to a wine fair in Santiago and took the opportunity to look for alternatives to do a full day tour to some wineries. Looking for information I found the Ecotours team that both on their website and on Tripadvisor has the detailed and updated information. Booking the tour was easy and quick. The communication was 100% through electronic chorea which responded to me in a timely manner. It was even easy for me to make payment from outside through a payment link. Our private tour was conducted by Matías, an excellent tourism professional with whom we could talk about wines, national context and curiosities of the routes we traveled together from 9:00 to 21:00. I highly emphasize his kindness, sense of humor and great knowledge of multiple subjects. In this visit we met the Maturana and VIK wineries and had lunch at Fuegos de Apalta de la Bodega Montes. We move in a modern and safe vehicle. Everything was coordinated perfectly and we had a very nice day. I recommend this private tour that can be customized for those who know a lot or who know little about wines. Everything was top notch.

Hi Cristian, I want to express my deepest thanks and praise to Matias for the absolutely impeccable service he gave us. His dedication, professionalism and attention to detail are admirable. From the outset, it became clear that you not only understand customers’ needs, but also strive to overcome them with a friendly, proactive and genuine attitude. It is rare to find someone who combines such technical competence with such a warm human approach. Congratulations to Matthias for taking our experience to an extraordinary level! It is clear that your contribution makes a big difference in the ecotourism team
