Bodegas RE Wine Tours

Bodegas RE is a small family winery in the Casablanca Valley, the cool wine valley on Ruta 68 between Santiago and the coast of Chile. What sets it apart is the clay: part of the wine ferments in amphorae and traditional tinajas, earthenware jars from the Maule region, kept in an underground cellar. Five tours we break down on this site include Bodegas RE. For a couple who want time at RE without a crowd, we would book the Private Casablanca Valley Wine Tour: Bodegas RE and Emiliana. If price matters more, a shared four-winery day covers RE for about half the money.

What makes Bodegas RE different

The winery was founded in 2008 by Pablo Morandé Lavín with his children, Piedad and Pablo. Morandé is the winemaker who planted the valley’s first vineyard in 1982, an experimental plot of about 20 hectares, while he was working at Concha y Toro. The family behind RE started the valley’s wine story, and at RE they went back to very old methods.

The winery’s own tour takes in a garden of ancestral grape varieties, the rooms where liqueurs and balsamic vinegars are made by hand, and the underground cellar with its amphorae and tinajas, and it ends with a tasting. Our guide to what a Bodegas RE visit includes lists every tasting and its price. One of the wines you may hear about is Pinotel, a blend of Pinot Noir and Moscatel Rosada listed in the winery’s online shop. The winery is at Camino Lo Ovalle km 1, Casablanca.

The private Bodegas RE and Emiliana tour

The private RE and Emiliana tour starts from $275 per person (September 2026) and holds a 4.8 rating from 16 Viator reviews. The live price is on the booking page. It is a private day of 6 to 8 hours with pickup from your accommodation, a guide, an air-conditioned vehicle and bottled water.

At RE you taste four wines with a board of bread, olives, cheese, RE olive oil and wine balm. The second stop is Emiliana, a five-wine tasting at a winery that says it farms organically and biodynamically.

Lunch is not included. The operator can reserve a four-course menu at Tanino, the restaurant at Casas del Bosque, for USD 90 per person, or lunch at Viñamar for USD 70 per person, paid at the restaurant. Add that to the tour price when you budget. Fifteen reviews is a modest pool, so read them on the booking page before you commit.

Two wineries in a day sounds light next to the four-winery tours, and that is the point of it. You have time to ask questions in the cellar, and nobody is waiting on a group bus. There is more detail in our breakdown of this tour.

Shared days that include Bodegas RE

Both shared four-winery days on this site stop at RE, and they cost about half as much as the private tour.

The Four Casablanca Wineries: Emiliana, Bodegas RE, Casa del Molle, Tanino tour starts from $139 per person with a 4.8 rating from 671 Viator reviews. That makes it the lowest-priced and most-reviewed tour on this site that includes Bodegas RE. It is a 10-hour day with hotel pickup and admission at Emiliana, Bodegas RE and Casa del Molle, then a lunch stop at Tanino Restaurant at Casas del Bosque, where the meal is at your own expense. Groups are capped at 15 travellers.

The Casablanca Valley 4 Vineyards: Emiliana, Bodegas RE, Viñamar & Tanino tour starts from $149 per person, rated 4.9 from 148 Viator reviews. It runs 9 hours, with tastings at Emiliana, Bodegas RE and Casa Valle Viñamar and a lunch stop at Tanino, where each person orders a la carte and pays for their own meal. Viñamar specialises in sparkling wine, so this is the pick if you want bubbles in the day. The group may be run in several languages, with trilingual guides.

Two more private routes to RE

The Casas del Bosque and RE Wineries private tour starts from $240 per person, rated 4.7 from 42 Viator reviews. It is a shorter private day of 5 to 7 hours, with tastings at Casas del Bosque and RE. Lunch is not included, and the listing does not name a lunch stop, so plan to eat before or after. The listing also describes the vehicle as wheelchair accessible.

The Private Casablanca Valley Tour: Emiliana, Bodega RE, Casas del Bosque starts from $329 per person, rated 4.5 from 8 Viator reviews. It covers three wineries in 7 to 8 hours with a bilingual guide. Lunch is not included; you can eat at one of the wineries at your own expense.

Which Bodegas RE tour we would book

• For two people who want RE with space to talk and taste, book the private RE and Emiliana tour.
• For a first visit on a budget, book the four-winery day from $139, with its 671 reviews.
• If sparkling wine matters, book the tour with Viñamar.
• For a shorter private day with Casas del Bosque, book the RE and Casas del Bosque tour.

On any of them, the wineries are spread along and off Ruta 68, about 80 km west of Santiago, so a tour with pickup saves you arranging transport and keeps everyone free to taste. The comparison table sets the three main options side by side.
