Cousiño Macul Vineyard Tour & Wine Tasting in Santiago

Walk through a century-old vineyard, taste three wines, and end at a temple overlooking Santiago

This 4.5-hour tour combines two of Santiago's cultural landmarks: the Cousiño Macul Vineyard, where you learn the winemaking process and taste three of the estate's signature wines, and the Baha'i Temple atop Santiago Hill, where you explore its distinctive architecture and take in views of the city and the Andes. A guide in English or Spanish leads the group by minibus, and entry to both sites is included.

The Experience

The tour starts at the Cousiño Macul Vineyard in Providencia, where you walk through the vine fields with the snowy mountains visible in the distance. The vineyard has been producing wine for more than a century, and the guide walks you through the winemaking and aging process as you move through different sections of the estate. You'll end up in the tasting area, where you sample three of Cousiño Macul's most recognized wines.

After leaving the vineyard, the minibus takes you to Santiago Hill and the Baha'i Temple, a striking building with unique architecture that sits at the top of the city. The guide explains the Baha'i faith and its history in South America while you explore the temple grounds. The final stretch of the tour is spent taking in the views—the Chilean capital spread out below and the mountain range framing it all around. This is where the pace slows, and you get time to sit with the spiritual atmosphere of the place before heading back to the meeting point.
