About this tour
When Roo from the crew rocked up to this boutique vineyard in Chile, it was a proper hands-on gig — not the polished tasting-room job you'd expect. The owners themselves walk you through their vines, letting you taste grapes straight off the branches to clock the differences in sweetness and acidity. Then you tour the winery floor, seeing how they crush, ferment, filter and bottle their own stuff before settling in for three wines: a Reserve, a Carmenere, and a Rosé. It's intimate, small-scale, and you're getting the full story from people who actually made it. Expect about an hour start to finish.
Highlights
- Taste grapes directly from vines, spot acidity and sweetness differences yourself
- Owner-led tour explains harvest-to-bottle process without the corporate spiel
- Walk through active production: crushing, fermentation, filtering in real time
- Three house wines tasted: Reserve, Carmenere, and Rosé
- Boutique scale means personal attention, not herded-around feeling
- Water and soft drinks included; wheelchair accessible throughout
What to expect
You'll start in the vineyard with the owners, picking grapes and tasting them raw — no fancy tasting notes required, just notice what your palate picks up. The walk through the winery is the heart of it: you're looking at actual equipment, smelling fermentation, and getting a real sense of what it takes to go from fruit to bottle. It's unglamorous and genuine. The owners explain each stage without making it overly technical, so you're never lost. After the floor tour, you'll settle in to taste three wines they've made. Nothing pretentious, just solid stuff they're proud of. The whole thing moves at a reasonable pace — an hour, sometimes a bit less.

Good to know
You're getting the inside track from the people who actually run the place, not a hired tour guide reciting a script. If you're curious about wine-making beyond the finished bottle, this scratches that itch. It's intimate — small groups, personal attention. Wheelchair users and those with service animals are genuinely catered for; all areas are accessible.
If you're expecting a sprawling estate experience with multiple courses or fancy extras, this is stripped-back and honest. The vineyard is boutique, so don't expect endless rows of grapes. Peak times may feel busier than usual, though still small by industry standards. Bring sun protection if you're tasting grapes outdoors — Chilean sun can be brutal. Water and soft drinks are on you beyond what's included; the wine tastings are the main event. Not a long session, so pace yourself if you're island-hopping through wine country.
