Maipo Valley Wine Tours is an independent Chile luxury wine tour operator led by WSET certified private wine guides in Santiago. Operating from corporate offices in Santiago Centro and local hubs in Isla de Maipo, the company curates 100% private, single-day and multi-day enological journeys across the Maipo, Casablanca, Colchagua, and Aconcagua valleys. Each unhurried itinerary includes technical tastings at historic and boutique family estates and, if desired, also integrates active vineyard explorations—including gentle equestrian trails alongside local huasos, scenic cycling beneath vine canopies, and guided mountain treks along the Coastal Range—paired with private art gallery breakfasts, multi-course pairing lunches and wood-fired vineyard asados. Backed by executive door-to-door transportation directly from Santiago accommodations, all journeys strictly require advance reservations to deliver authentic countryside hospitality.
About Maipo Valley Wine Tours: Chile luxury Wine Tour Operator
Passion-Driven Wine Journeys Led by Local Industry Insiders
Maipo Valley Wine Tours was founded on an uncompromised standard: delivering genuine, high-end wine adventures without the rigid commercial scripts, crowded tour buses, or generic tasting rooms of mass tourism. Supported by our North American headquarters and Chilean operations base, our company curates 100% private, door-to-door wine excursions tailored to discerning collectors, experienced oenophiles, and curious travelers seeking an unhurried, insider perspective on Chilean viticulture.
Our private guides and hosts hold prestigious industry credentials, including WSET Level 4 diplomas and professional sommelier qualifications. Having worked within renowned production facilities, historic cellars, and international wine programs, our team bridges technical winemaking knowledge with warm, down-to-earth hospitality. We do not merely escort guests between tasting bars; we unpack the terroir, geology, microclimates, and cultural heritage of Chile’s most revered viticultural regions.
Unrivaled Terroir Access: From Historic Estates to Hidden Boutique Cellars
Our established relationships across the Maipo Valley (Maipo Alto, Isla de Maipo, Maipo Costa), Casablanca, Colchagua, Apalta, and Aconcagua Valleys allow us to unlock cellar doors and private estates often inaccessible to the general public.
Whether walking ancient pre-phylloxera Cabernet Sauvignon blocks alongside winemakers, tasting cool-climate Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc directly from fermentation vessels, or accessing reserve libraries of iconic Chilean bottlings, we prioritize substance over commercial tourist shops. We space every daily itinerary generously, allowing travelers to savor generous pours, speak directly with cellar masters, and experience Chile’s wine country at their own rhythm.
Active Outdoor Adventures: Horseback, Cycling & Foothill Trekking
True appreciation of terroir extends beyond the tasting room to the land itself. We integrate seamless outdoor adventure into our enological itineraries for guests wishing to experience Chile’s natural landscapes actively:
Vineyard Equestrian Excursions:
Gentle horseback riding trails through historic estate vineyards and native Andean foothill forests alongside authentic Chilean huasos.
Scenic Vineyard Cycling:
Leisurely, flat bike tours pedaling beneath shaded vineyard avenues, connecting boutique cellars and family-run country estates in Isla de Maipo.
Coastal Range Nature Hikes:
Guided biodiversity trekking along nature paths within the Cantillana mountain range, followed by private open-air tastings right among the vines.
Farm-to-Table Gastronomy & Living Local Culture
A great bottle of wine belongs alongside authentic regional cuisine. Every itinerary features curated culinary moments celebrating local traditions:
Private Country House Breakfasts:
Welcoming morning spreads featuring wood-fired artisanal breads, country cheeses, fresh fruit, and breakfast pours inside the gardens and exhibition rooms of historic colonial casonas, such as Galería La Espina del Arte.
Historic Monument Dining:
Refined three-course vineyard pairing lunches at estates like Doña Paula Restaurant within the Santa Rita property, a celebrated Chilean National Monument.
Live-Fire Country Asados:
Traditional homestead vineyard barbecues featuring prime cuts, local garden produce, and homemade empanadas served under restored colonial canopies.
Family-Centered Explorations:
Enriching, multi-generational excursions featuring interactive beekeeping visits, farm tours, and master chocolatier workshops for travelers with children.
Sustainable Tourism & Community Commitment
We believe luxury travel must enrich the host destination.
