SANTIAGO CLASSIC CITY TOUR:
We will start with a panoramic visit to the Central Market, where you can admire the architecture of the place and learn a bit more about its history. Next, we will head to Plaza de Armas, the heart of the city, where we can admire the impressive Santiago Cathedral with its colonial architecture. However, it is possible that the cathedral may be closed for a special event or activity. We will then continue with a walk to the Palacio de la Moneda, the seat of the Chilean government, and Plaza de la Constitución, where we will learn more about Chile's history and its institutions. Depending on the month and day, it is possible to witness the Changing of the Guard, a solemn event that regularly takes place, but this stop may be omitted due to internal activities at the Palacio de la Moneda. We will then head to Cerro Santa Lucía, one of the most iconic hills of the city, where we will stop for a short walk and enjoy panoramic views of Santiago.
Our tour continues with a panoramic visit of the iconic Lastarría and Bellavista neighborhoods, known for their cultural offerings, cuisine, and art, giving us a panoramic view of local life. It is a perfect spot to soak in the atmosphere of Santiago and its historic charm.
Next, we will visit Parque Bicentenario, a beautiful green space, where you will have time for a relaxing walk in a natural environment.
Optionally, if preferred by the passengers, a visit to Bluestone, a lapis lazuli store, the national stone of Chile, can be arranged, where we can admire and/or purchase beautiful jewelry and local crafts.
The tour will end with a drop-off at the hotel, the entrance to Cerro San Cristóbal, or at Patio Bellavista.
CONCHA & TORO WINERY:
Cross into the Pirque Vineyards to learn about the growth and development of vines assisted by the meticulous attention of master vineyard keepers. Centuries old history is all around as you explore the ancient Pirque Terraces. Old world taste comes to life with sampling of Casillero del Diablo Carmenere. The wines created from this classic Chilean variety were confused with Merlot for more than a century before rediscovery in the 1990s. Today Carmenere is Chile’s emblematic wine.
Then descend underground into the winery’s intriguing system of ancient cellars. Visit “Casillero del Diablo” (Devil’s Cellar), the source of the famous legend that made Chilean wine known around the world. End your tour at the wine bar for a wine tasting, an ideal place to taste premium wines paired with lavish appetizers and cheeses. If you select the wine-only option, sample two wines from the flagship Casillero del Diablo label. Or, add for a small additional price the wine & cheese pairing option, which includes four wines from Marques de Casa Concha, a premium label, accompanied by gourmet cheese. Once you've met your match, visit the wine shop where the full assortment of ultra-premium Concha y Toro wines are available for sale as well as books and souvenirs to commemorate your visit.
