Legacy Family Tour Lunch or Dinner Pairing 4 Strokes

When Tomás from the Global Hobo crew swung by Butón Budinich in Chile's Cachapoal Valley, he walked straight into the winery's living archive—greda vats, centuries-old fudres, French oak barrels, concrete tanks, and sleek stainless steel all telling the story of how they make wine here. The tour threads through the vat room and barrel room, then out to the vines to talk terroir and harvest methods, before landing at a four-course lunch paired with reserve and premium wines. It's a 2–3 hour deep dive for wine buffs and food lovers who want to understand what's actually in their glass.

Moment Tour Tasting Icon

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.

Moment Premium Tasting Tour

When Delphine from the crew rolled up to Encierra Vineyard in Chile, she got the sort of access most wine tours keep locked behind velvet ropes. This is a proper boutique operation — you're tasting straight from the vines with the owners themselves, then following grapes through the entire production cycle before settling down to taste their Reserve, Carmenere, Rosé and Icono Porel. It's a quick hit (about an hour), but the hands-on grape analysis and owner-led tour makes it feel less like a conveyor-belt wine experience and more like someone actually cares about what you're learning. Chile's wine country attracts everyone from serious oenophiles to curious drinkers, and this spot welcomes all fitness levels.

Moment Tour Tasting

When Ngaio from the crew rolled through this Chilean winery, we got the full family story — from the vineyard's roots to the founder's chapel tucked downstairs. You'll wander the vines themselves, learn to spot the differences between grape varieties by their leaves, then settle in for a proper tasting of three standout bottles. It's a compact but genuine glimpse into a family operation that takes its history seriously, all wrapped up in under an hour. The whole site is wheelchair accessible, which beats most wine tours.

Punta Arenas : Typical Chilean Cooking Class + Chilean Wine

When Maz from the crew did this cooking class in Punta Arenas, we learned to make proper Chilean classics from scratch while working through some seriously good local wines. You're in a small group (size determines the kitchen location, confirmed a couple days ahead), hands-on from minute one — no standing around watching. The vibe is intimate and unpretentious: traditional recipes passed down with real care, paired with wines that actually taste like something. You cook, you taste, you eat what you made. Dead simple concept, surprisingly satisfying way to clock off your Chile trip.

Traditional Chilean Cooking Class with a Local in Her Santiago Countryside Home

When Finn from the crew rocked up to Lampa, a quiet pocket of Santiago's countryside, for Patricia's cooking class, we found ourselves in a sprawling ranch home packed with fruit trees and old-world charm. Patricia (Patty) is that mate everyone tries to befriend at work because she throws legendary dinner parties — and for three-and-a-half hours, we got the keys to her kitchen and her family recipes. You'll learn to make proper Chilean dishes using fresh garden produce, then sit down and actually eat what you've cooked alongside Patty and her husband. Wine's included, dogs are kennelled, and it's genuinely intimate.

Full Day Private Colchagua Wine Tour from Santiago

When Finn from the crew did this full-day private wine tour from Santiago, we rolled into Colchagua Valley — a landscape of vineyard-striped hills about two hours south of the city that's transformed from quiet farmland into Chile's serious wine playground over the past two decades. The tour hits four different wineries, including Los Maquis, Montes (where lunch happens), Clos Apalta, and the prestigious Neyen estate. It's a leisurely, unhurried day of tasting and touring through colonial estates and modern operations, with the Pacific breeze keeping the valley cool and the vines happy. Perfect for wine nerds and casual drinkers alike.

Lastarria Food Tour: Wine, Bites & Social Culinary Experience

When Ngaio from the Global Hobo crew did this Santiago food tour, she found a genuinely solid afternoon in Lastarria — the neighbourhood with actual bohemian bones, not the tourist-trap kind. You get three hours moving between wine bars and proper restaurants, tasting regional stuff that actually spans Chile's geography (northern valleys down to Patagonian cool zones), plus a Pisco Sour to start and a proper three-course lunch with wine pairings. A certified guide handles the neighbourhood history, including the Burned Church story. It's pricey for a day tour but the wine and food quality holds up; skip the airport pickups and bring yourself.

Harás de Pirque Experience

When Roo from the crew hit up Harás de Pirque near Santiago, it was a proper reminder that Chile's wine scene runs deeper than a postcard. This boutique winery sits 40 minutes south of the capital in Maipo Valley—rolling hills, old-school family operation, the works. The tour's a solid four to five hours: you walk through the vineyard and historic facilities (the place was originally a horse breeding estate, hence the horseshoe-shaped layout), taste premium wines in an underground room carved into the hillside, and if you book ahead, grab lunch at their on-site restaurant. It's the kind of place where tradition and decent innovation coexist without either one showing off.

Private Maipo Valley Wine Experience: 2 Premium Wineries & Lunch

When Finn from the Global Hobo crew did this private Maipo Valley wine tour, it delivered exactly what it promised—two solid wineries, decent tastings, and a proper lunch without the tour-bus crowds. You're picked up from your Santiago digs and spend the day tasting reds and whites in the Maipo region, Chile's heavyweight wine zone, with a bilingual guide who actually knows their stuff (European wine tourism degree and all). It's seven to eight hours of vineyard walks, cellar time, and local food, finishing back at your hotel. If you like wine and want to skip the group-tour theatre, this scratches that itch.

Private Tour: Isla de Maipo For Wine Lovers

When Tomás from the Global Hobo crew did this private Maipo Valley wine tour, he spent a full day with a wine expert exploring some of the region's top wineries. You'll taste your way through the valley's standout bottles, learn what makes Maipo tick as a wine region, and eat properly — breakfast, lunch, and afternoon tea all sorted. It's a 10-hour immersion into why this Chilean valley punches above its weight for diversity and quality. The whole thing's private, so it moves at your pace, not a coach full of randoms.

Santiago Chilean and Peruvian Cooking Class with a Local Carol

When Delphine from the Global Hobo crew signed up for Carol's cooking class in Santiago, she found herself in a proper local's kitchen—not a commercial setup—chopping, stirring, and learning how Chilean home cooking actually works. Carol and her partner Paulo run this intimate three-hour session from their apartment overlooking the city, walking you through traditional dishes while swapping stories of growing up in Chile. You cook for roughly an hour, then sit down to eat what you've made, with local wine flowing and the kind of hospitality that only happens when you're in someone's actual home.

Villard Winery with exclusive guide + Premium Transfer

When Roo from the crew rolled up to Villard in Casablanca Valley, we got the full boutique treatment — a seven-hour private vineyard experience that's the opposite of crowded tour-bus wine tasting. The winery sits in one of Chile's most accessible wine regions, about an hour from Santiago, and caters to serious wine lovers and casual drinkers alike. Your own guide leads you through the vines, a proper lunch lands mid-visit, and the whole thing happens at your pace with no other tourists jostling for space. It's pricey, but if you want to actually taste wine without shouting over thirty other people, this is the move.

Authentic Gastronomic Experience in Santiago

When Delphine from the crew joined this Santiago food tour, we ditched the tourist traps and ate where locals actually eat. Over three hours, our guide — a genuine food obsessive — shepherded us through the city's working neighbourhoods, stopping at spots serving everything from proper empanadas to fresh seafood and proper local wines. It's the kind of tour that gives you restaurant recommendations you'll actually use for the rest of your trip, plus the real flavour of how Santiago feeds itself, away from the guidebook noise.
