Excursion Vines & volcanoes: grand cru lunch in chilean wine country (tour and airport transfer) tour at Valparaiso
Cruise line: SilverseaDifficulty:
This full day tour journeys from the pier into Chile’s wine country for an immersive vineyard experience.
Vine-carpeted Valleys, Vineyard Estate tour and sensorial tasting
Depart from the pier in Valparaíso and settle in for a scenic 1 hour 30 minute drive through the vine-carpeted valleys that link the Pacific coast to the Andes. On arrival at the vineyard estate, embark on a guided tour and sensorial tasting that explores terroir, cellar craft, and the aromatic profiles that define Chile’s world-class varietals.
Grand Cru Lunch
Take your seat among the vines (or in an elegant dining salon, season-dependent) for lunch. Expect a composed progression—such as tuna tartar to start, a catch-of-the-day with quinoa risotto as the main course, and delicate crêpes with ice cream for dessert—paired with estate wines.
After this unhurried celebration of Chilean wine and cuisine, board your coach for the 1-hour drive to your onward drop-off point.
