Main Info:
Casablanca Valley Wine tour takes you to visit a beautiful area only 80 kms from Santiago city. With more than 6.000 hectares of vineyards, it is recognized nowadays as one of the Premium regions of cold climate and as one of the most moderns Valleys in winemaking of Chile. You’ll be able to visit organic and biodynamic wineries such as Matetic and enjoy superb paring at Casas del Bosque restaurant. We added the spectacular Viñamar winery on this trip, so you can taste some of their fresh wine from Lleyda Valley.
Crucial to the Casablanca Valley’s success is its proximity to the ocean, which ensures cooler nights and hotter days. Combined with the region’s salty ocean air, cool breezes, and heavy morning fogs, the valley has the ideal climate for producing chardonnay and sauvignon blanc that are widely regarded as being the best in Chile. Testament to how important the region has become, Casablanca has even been compared to the legendary Napa and Sonoma valleys of California. Although the whites clearly take precedence, some cool climate reds also do well in the higher sections of the valley. Pinot noir and Syrah, in particular, are worthy of a sample.
VIÑAMAR WINERY
The tour begins with the history of Casa Valle Viñamar and our concept. Then the tour guide will walk you through the vineyards, where you will find out why the Casablanca and Leyda Valleys are special for the production of cool coastal-climate wines and sparkling wines.
The tour continues indoor where your will enter the tasting hall and see our underground cellar.
To finish, enjoy three award- winning Leyda wines: Sauvignon Blanc Garuma, Falaris Hill Chardonnay and Pinot Noir Las Brisas, and get to know the main characteristics of the Leyda Valley and the concept behind these complex wines.
CASAS DEL BOSQUE LUNCH
You’ll be able to enjoy lunch at 12:30 hrs at prestigious Tanino restaurant of Casas del Bosque winery.
Viña Casas del Bosque was selected, once again, among the most important vineyards in the world to visit, according to the new ranking of the 50 Best Vineyards in the World 2022, which is configured with similar rules to other lists such as the 50 best restaurants of the world.

MATETIC WINERY
Our last stop will be at Matetic winery, located in the Rosario Valley, situated between the coastal valleys of Casablanca and San Antonio.
The visit begins at the Emporio Viña Matetic. Here, visitors will be cordially welcomed by our bilingual guide, and will be invited to discover the Rosario Valley, learning about the winemaking process, our terroir, and our organic and biodynamic agriculture. The visit finishes with a tasting of 4 of our wines; two glasses of premium Corralillo wines and two glasses of ultra premium EQ wine in our Emporio, where visitors can buy their favorite wines, browse gourmet products, and purchase souvenirs and locally made handicrafts.
Matetic wines are the fruit of the distinctive terroir of the Rosario Valley: old granitic soils, together with the pronounced costal influence from the Pacific Ocean, are determining factors in the production of wines with a sense of place, and true to their origin.
