Come join us for an enjoyable day and visit the cozy boutique wine vineyards of Aquitania and Haras de Pirque in the Maipo Valley, just south of Santiago. Relax and enjoy their award-winning wines in the shadow of the majestic Andes Mountains!
First stop, Viña Aquitania. Aquitania is a boutique winery located at the foothills of the Andes Mountains, within the city limits of Santiago. The vineyard focuses on high quality wines in limited quantities. Visitors have the opportunity to see the entire wine production process, where modern equipment is used alongside traditional artisanal processes, such as the bottle labeling technique. The visit begins at the winery’s lookout, where you have a 360º panoramic view of the vineyard. Then you will visit the fermentation room and wine cellar. The visit ends with a tasting of four Premium wines: Aquitania Cabernet Sauvignon, Aquitania Carmenere, Aquitania Rosé, and Aquitania Chardonnay. These wines will be accompanied by cheeses and nuts for pairing.
After the visit to Viña Aquitania, there will be time for lunch at a rustic countryside restaurant further into the Maipo Valley in the village of Pirque (lunch not included in tour price).
Then, you will visit the second vineyard of the day, Viña Haras de Pirque. The visit starts on the main terrace of the wine cellar where the beautiful Maipo Valley and Andes Mountains meet. Moving inside the horse-shoe shaped cellar, you will learn about their winemaking and barrel-aging process, followed by a tasting of three wines – Albaclara Sauvignon Blanc, Hussonet Cabernet Sauvignon Gran Reserva and Galantas Cabernert Franc, accompanied by pairing with snacks – in the vineyard’s memorable “fountain” tasting room.
A perfect day in the Maipo Valley at two boutique vineyards far away from the crowded, large production wineries!
Please note:
(1) The order of the vineyards visited may vary.
