Spend a day tasting the Maipo Valley’s best: a private tour through historic Viña Santa Rita and a boutique tasting at Haras de Pirque. This full-day experience pairs heritage wineries, cellar access and panoramic foothill views.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive on a low, sun-warmed plain where rows of vines march toward the Andes’ foothills and a colonial adobe sits with the quiet authority of an old estate. The day opens at Viña Santa Rita — gardens, a historic winery complex declared a national monument, and broad views across the Maipo basin — then moves uphill to boutique Haras de Pirque for a guided tour and an exclusive underground tasting.
