Casablanca Valley Wine Tours

The Casablanca Valley is the wine country between Santiago and the Pacific, in Chile’s Valparaíso Region. It lies on Ruta 68, roughly 80 km west of Santiago, about an hour’s drive and up to an hour and a half in traffic. Winemaker Pablo Morandé planted the valley’s first vineyard in 1982, an experimental plot of about 20 hectares, and Casablanca is widely described as Chile’s first cool-climate coastal wine region. Fog often rolls in off the ocean in the morning and burns off during the day, which is why the valley is best known for cool-climate whites, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay above all, with Pinot Noir as its other signature grape. Our Casablanca Valley guide covers the wineries, seasons, food and places to stay, and our Chilean wine guide explains how each grape tastes and where in Chile it grows best. Our Casablanca Valley wine tasting guide sets out what each winery charges for its own tastings and how to book them. For food with your wine, see where to find a wine and cheese tasting in Chile, and before you pack, read what to wear to a wine tasting in Chile.

Almost every tour on this site is a day trip from Santiago with pickup at your hotel. They fall into three kinds, and the kind you pick shapes the day more than any single winery does. Our wine tours from Santiago page lays out the logistics common to all of them. If you are still choosing between Casablanca and Maipo, the Cabernet valley south of the city, our guide to the best wine tours from Santiago sets the two side by side.

The dedicated wine day

If wine is the reason for the trip, book a shared multi-winery day. The one we would start with is Four Casablanca Wineries: 10 hours with pickup from your accommodation, visits to Emiliana, Bodegas RE and Casa del Molle, then a lunch stop at Tanino, the restaurant at Casas del Bosque, at your own expense. It is from $139 per person (September 2026), groups are capped at 15, and it is the most-reviewed dedicated wine tour on this site, with 4.8 from 671 Viator reviews. Our breakdown goes through it stop by stop.

Its closest rival is Casablanca Valley 4 Vineyards, from $149 and rated 4.9 from 148 Viator reviews. It swaps Casa del Molle for Viñamar, a house that specialises in sparkling wine, runs 9 hours instead of 10, and ends at the same Tanino lunch stop, where you order à la carte and pay for your own meal. Our guide to Casablanca winery restaurants covers Tanino and the valley’s other vineyard lunches.

Both days share the two stops that tell you most about the valley. Emiliana says it farms organically and biodynamically. Bodegas RE is a small family winery founded in 2008 by Morandé himself, where part of the wine ferments in clay amphorae and earthenware tinajas kept in an underground cellar. Our 3 and 4 winery tours page compares the two days line by line, and the Emiliana and Bodegas RE pages cover each winery, and our Bodegas RE winery guide lists the winery’s own tastings, cellar tour and hours. Our Emiliana organic winery guide explains what you see on its vineyard walk and what the winery’s own tours cost.

Wine plus the coast

The most-reviewed tour on this site is a coast day with one tasting on the way back. Valparaíso and Viña del Mar with Casablanca wine tasting takes 10 hours: a walk through Valparaíso’s hills with a funicular ride, a visit to Viña del Mar and a tasting at a Casablanca Valley vineyard. It is from $75 on Viator with 4.9 from 8,948 reviews, and lunch is at your own expense. The same day is also sold on GetYourGuide, from $77.

A second operator runs a similar route as Valparaíso, Viña del Mar and Casablanca Valley Wine Tour, from $61 on GetYourGuide with 4.8 from 1,350 reviews and a 45-minute tasting stop. That one is on Viator as well, from $65.

Book a coast day if you have one free day and want Valparaíso too. If the wine is what you came for, one tasting will feel thin. The Casablanca and Valparaíso wine tours page and our Valparaíso, Viña del Mar and Casablanca guide set the coast days side by side. Staying on the coast instead? See our guide to wine tours from Valparaíso and Viña del Mar.

Private tours

A private tour keeps the hotel-to-hotel shape with only your group in the vehicle. The lowest-priced private winery day on this site is Private Casablanca Tour: Emiliana, William Cole & Casa del Bosque, from $150 per person and rated 4.9 from 118 reviews. It includes a four-wine tasting at Emiliana with a cheese and chocolate board, a tasting at William Cole, then a lunch stop at Casa del Bosque, paid separately, over 8 hours.

The other private options cost more per person: Casas del Bosque and RE from $240, Bodegas RE and Emiliana from $275, and Emiliana, Bodega RE and Casas del Bosque from $329. None of the three includes lunch. Private Casablanca Valley wine tours compares them, and our private wine tours from Santiago guide sets every private option side by side.

Lunch included, and Veramonte

Casas del Bosque Winery Tour with Tasting and Tanino Lunch spends about three hours at one estate: a guided walk, a four-wine tasting and a three-course lunch at Tanino with two paired wines, all included, from $130 on GetYourGuide with 4.1 from 19 reviews. Casas del Bosque was ranked No. 42 in The World’s 50 Best Vineyards 2025. Book this one if a long lunch at a winery is the point of your day. The wine tours with lunch page separates included meals from lunch stops, and Casas del Bosque tours covers the tours that stop there. To book the estate yourself, our Casas del Bosque winery guide lists its tastings, restaurants and prices.

Private Casablanca Valley Wine Tour: Veramonte and Viñamar is the pick if you want Veramonte, the estate in which Spain’s González Byass bought a majority stake in 2016. It is private, from $267 per person on GetYourGuide, with a guided visit and tasting at each winery. Lunch at the Viñamar restaurant is optional and paid separately. It has 5.0 from only 3 reviews so far. See Veramonte winery tours, or our Veramonte winery guide for the tastings you can book direct.

Two booking platforms, two prices

The tours here are sold on Viator and GetYourGuide. Some, like the coast days above, appear on both as twins: the same operator and itinerary, with separate prices and separate reviews. Twins can differ by a few dollars in either direction, so compare both before you pay. The prices on this site are the platforms’ own from-prices in September 2026, and the live price is always on the booking page.

Before you go

If you plan to drive yourself, Chile’s zero-tolerance law treats a driver with 0.3 grams of alcohol per litre of blood as under the influence, so one person in the car has to skip the tastings. Self-drive vs a wine tour and how to get to Casablanca Valley from Santiago cover the car and bus options.

The valley can be visited all year. The harvest usually falls between mid-March and early May; our guide to the best time to visit Casablanca Valley goes month by month. Mornings are often cool and foggy and afternoons warm, so dress in layers. If you are choosing between this valley and Maipo, Chile’s Cabernet region around Santiago, read Casablanca vs Maipo. For the rest of the country’s wine regions, from Limarí in the north to Maule in the south, see Chile wine country. Our best Casablanca Valley wineries page profiles each estate the tours visit.

If you are still undecided, which Casablanca Valley wine tour is right for you matches each tour to a type of trip. Otherwise, the tour we would book first is the four-winery day at the top of this page: check availability.
