Morning light slides across low vineyard rows as the minivan pulls out of Santiago — the city receding into a ribbon of highway and coastal scrub. By midmorning you’re in Casablanca Valley, where cool Pacific breezes shape slender vines and Sauvignon Blancs lean bright and mineral; the air tastes faintly of ocean when you step between trellises. Later, Valparaíso’s hills climb like an urban cliff, painted in murals and punctuated by rattling funiculars that drag you up to Paseo Atkinson for ocean views that refuse to sit still.
