Casablanca Wine Tour with Valparaiso and Viña del Mar

We really enjoyed each stop of the tour. Our favorite part was the wine tour and walking around Valparaiso. Chris was excellent at explaining history of the area and helping take photos. He was one of the best tour guides we have ever had. We spent all day out and we are at a local place in Valparaiso. Lunch was not included but it was cheap and absolutely amazing! All around a 5 star day!

Wonderful day with Cristian. Paying for this private tour was worth it. We started the day at Viña Casas del Bosque, a sustainable estate in the Valle de Casablanca. We’ve been to the Mendoza, Argentina wine region and love wine tours. We enjoyed becoming more knowledgeable about Chilean wines and our tour included a wine tasting. We opted to eat lunch in Valparaiso and skip the Casas del Bosque lunch although the vineyard restaurant looked very nice. The Viña Del Mar coastal area has amazing scenery and a bustling summer beach scene. Valparaíso exceeded expectations and was the surprise of the afternoon. Because cruise ships dock there we expected a typical port city with some sites and mostly tourist shops. Valparaíso had really interesting street art, beautiful wall murals and working artists. Lots of grafiti - some politically provocative and some just distracting. Cristian took us to Cafe Pintura for lunch which was an excellent fixed course Chilean lunch. Riding the local funiculars was a special treat. Cristian shared lots of insights and car videos of Chilean culture during the drive time. He was very friendly and easy going. We only had three days in Santiago and glad we took the time to visit the coast. Patricio, the owner was very helpful in setting up the tour. Highly recommend Huaso Tours and highly recommend Cristian as a guide.

A fabulous 2 days with Juan (our guide) and Marianela (driver). They picked us up from Santiago airport for a drive and tour around Valparaiso .. great street art and lots of information .. lunch at great location overlooking the sea (not included), before dropping us off at our hotel (Hotel Boutique BC) in the Casablanca valley Next day pickup and visits to 2 wineries .. one small, one medium sized with different approaches to wine making .. tours and wine tastings. Both very impressive .. lunch (not included) in beautiful location before taking us back to our hotel in Santiago. We had a great 2 days with Juan and Marianela.. they were both very attentive and fun .. would highly recommend them and Patricio at Huaso tours for putting the trip together .. thank you!!
