Step-by-step itinerary

Santa Rita Winery Selection Tour

• Visit Cal y Canto and Patriots’ Cellars
• Taste 1 Gran Reserva and 2 Ultra Premium wines
• Enjoy cheese and crackers with wine tasting

The experience

Santa Rita sits at the foot of the Andes Mountains near Santiago, surrounded by its own vineyards and a 19th-century park. The Selection Tour starts with a walk through the vineyard rows and the varietal garden (the plants that make each wine taste different), then moves into the cellars. You see the Cal y Canto Cellar and Patriots' Cellar, where the wine ages in barrels and bottles, and watch how the whole process works from crush to finish.

The tasting comes at the end: one Gran Reserva wine and two Ultra Premium selections, each poured with cheese and crackers. A professional guide walks you through what you're tasting and why. The tour also includes entry to the Andean Museum on the grounds, which holds more than 3,000 pieces of pre-Columbian art. You can wander through it at your own pace. The whole experience runs about 70 minutes. Groups stay under 20 people, and you can book a guide in English, Spanish or Portuguese.

If you're under 18, you can still join the tour and taste juice instead of wine. The winery is wheelchair accessible throughout, and public transportation options are nearby if you're coming from central Santiago.
