My husband and I booked this tour before we left for our trip. We weren't sure what to expect. It was so much better than either of us imagined. Our driver and guide picked us up at our hotel near the airport. They even went out of their way to find a pharmacy where I could get some cold medicine (I had caught a cold on a previous part of our trip).
Vina Villard is a lovely organic winery in the Casablanca Valley. We had a wine tasting, followed by a delicious lunch. The wines are organic. The signature wine, a syrah, is a delight! The staff were pleasant, knowledgeable, and friendly. They explained why their area is considered a cold climate, what grapes grow best in the area among other things. It was the perfect way to spend an afternoon in Chile. Enough so that we know we have to return and see more of the Casablanca Valley and the surrounding area.
