Discover the secrets of the Casablanca Valley on an exclusive private experience. Visit two premium vineyards selected for their innovation and quality, enjoy guided tastings, and savor a gourmet lunch in the heart of Chile’s cool-climate wine region.

Optimize your time in Chile with a private shore excursion designed for wine lovers seeking exclusivity and peace of mind. We will pick you up directly at the San Antonio Cruise Terminal to take you to the heart of the Casablanca Valley, Chile’s most prestigious cool-climate wine region, strategically located between the port and the capital.

We will visit two high-end boutique vineyards (such as Bodegas REKingston Family, or Casas del Bosque), where you will participate in technical tastings of Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, and Syrah. Your expert guide will reveal the social context and innovation that have positioned these wineries at the global forefront. As this is a private tour, we manage your luggage with total security and guarantee a punctual return to the ship or a seamless final transfer to your hotel in Santiago or the Airport (SCL).
