Casas del Bosque winery: tastings, restaurants, tours and prices

What makes Casas del Bosque special?

A family winery with Italian roots

The Cúneo family founded Casas del Bosque in 1993, and the family’s Italian background still shows in the food and hospitality.

The estate is in Las Dichas, in the western part of the Casablanca Valley, where cool air from the Pacific shapes the growing season.

Chile’s warmer inland valleys are known for Cabernet Sauvignon and Carménère. Casablanca suits grapes that like a long, cool season, which keeps acidity and aroma in the fruit.

In the glass that means whites with citrus and herbal notes, Pinot Noir with bright red fruit, and wines that go well with food.

A winery set up for visitors

Much of the appeal lies beyond the cellar. The estate has landscaped gardens, an organically managed orchard, vineyard viewpoints and three restaurants.

Wine educators lead the tours and explain how the valley’s climate, soils and winemaking choices show up in the wines.

The World’s Best Vineyards list ranks wineries on the visit as a whole, so its place on it reflects the welcome and the setting as much as the wine. If you only have time for one Casablanca winery, that range of things to do is a strong argument for this one.

Casas del Bosque wine tasting and tour prices in 2026

There are two ways to book: a tasting only, or a guided tour of the vineyards and cellar that ends with a tasting. The winery lists these options, with the wines it pours.

These are the winery’s published online prices, booked directly with Casas del Bosque, not through a tour marketplace. Some experiences run only at set times or have private-booking conditions, so check the calendar and ask whether the price is per guest or per reservation.

1. Aromas Wine Tasting: for a short visit

Price: CLP 27,000

If you are passing through the valley with little time, the Aromas tasting is a sensible introduction.

It skips the production tour and concentrates on what is in the glass: aromas, flavors, grape varieties and the effect of the cool climate. The winery pours one wine from its small-lot Pequeñas range and two Handcrafted Sauvignon Blancs.

It suits people who enjoy wine but do not want a long technical talk.

Choose this if: you are short of time, you have already toured other wineries, or you would prefer to spend your budget on lunch.

Pick something else if: you want to walk through the vineyards, see the cellar or learn how the wine is made.

2. Aromas Wine Tour: the best first visit

Price: CLP 38,000

For CLP 11,000 more than the tasting, the Aromas Wine Tour adds the part most people remember: seeing where the wine comes from.

The guide takes you through the vineyards, the winery and the barrel room, then leads the same three-wine tasting. You learn why the valley suits cool-climate grapes and how winemaking choices change the flavor.

The winery’s price list gives no duration, so ask when you book and plan on about an hour at the estate for the tour itself.

Why I would choose it: it gives most first-time visitors the best mix of wine, scenery and cost. Book a late-morning slot and follow it with lunch at Tanino for a relaxed half day.

3. La Trampa Premium Wine Tasting: for serious wine drinkers

Price: CLP 38,000

La Trampa is the estate’s flagship red and the center of its premium range: a cool-climate blend of Syrah and Malbec with a little Pinot Noir, in proportions that change each vintage.

This tasting pours La Trampa beside one Pequeñas wine and two Handcrafted Sauvignon Blancs. It suits you if you have done a few basic tastings and want to spend the time comparing more distinctive wines.

Choose this if: the wine matters more to you than a walk around the production area.

4. La Trampa Premium Wine Tour: for enthusiasts

Price: CLP 48,000

This tour adds the vineyard and cellar visit to the La Trampa tasting.

It is a good fit if you enjoy learning about terroir and winemaking and want to try wines beyond the introductory range. If you have already visited several wineries on this trip, this is the tour I would book.

5. Private Wine Tour: for couples and small groups

Price: CLP 60,000

Book a private tour if you want time for questions or prefer not to share the tasting with a larger group.

The winery lists a guided vineyard and cellar visit with La Trampa, three Pequeñas wines and Bo sparkling wine, served with cheese and prosciutto.

Before booking, confirm the group-size rules and the actual price per guest.

Best for: couples, family celebrations and visitors with a strong interest in wine.

6. Mirador Premium Wine Tour: for the vineyard view

Price: CLP 71,000

Casa Mirador sits on a hill above the vines and has one of the best outlooks on the estate.

This tour pairs the view with higher-tier wines: La Trampa, one Pequeñas, two Gran Reserva wines and a Sauvignon Blanc. It makes sense if the setting matters to you as much as the pour.

Access to Casa Mirador is by reservation only, so do not expect to walk up without a booking.

7. La Trampa & Gran Bosque Icon Wine Tour: for premium reds

Price: CLP 75,000

This is the most specialized tasting on the list.

La Trampa shows the estate’s cool-climate reds, while Gran Bosque is a Cabernet Sauvignon from the Maipo Valley, inland and warmer. Tasting them side by side shows how much Chile’s regions change a wine’s style.

Four Pequeñas wines complete the pour, with pairings for the icon wines.

Choose this if: you like full-bodied reds, premium bottlings or comparing wines from different Chilean regions.

Which Casas del Bosque experience should you choose?

For most visitors I would book the Aromas Wine Tour and reserve a separate restaurant table. You control what you spend on lunch, and you can enjoy the estate without committing to the CLP 165,000 tasting menu.

Casas del Bosque restaurants: where should you eat?

The food is a big reason to come. The estate’s restaurants go well beyond a winery snack plate: you can have a full lunch, a casual garden meal or a long pairing menu. The three to know are Tanino, Botánico and Casa Mirador. To compare them with the valley’s other lunches, see our guide to Casablanca Valley winery restaurants.

Tanino: the best all-round lunch

Best for: first-time visitors, couples and a long vineyard lunch

Hours: every day, 12:00 to 4:30 p.m.

Reservations: 48 hours ahead

Tanino is the restaurant I would send most visitors to. You eat with views over the gardens and vineyards, and the meal feels special without a formal tasting menu.

The cooking draws on Chile’s coast and farmland, with Italian touches from the family’s heritage. Expect seafood, fish, meat and pasta, with produce from the estate’s orchard, and dishes planned to go with the house wines.

A good plan is a wine tour at about 11 a.m. and lunch at around 12:30 or 1 p.m.

Before you book:

• Lunch is usually a separate reservation from your tasting or tour.
• Ask for the current menu before you travel if you have dietary needs.
• The restaurant asks for 48 hours’ notice, and weekends fill first.
• Allow 90 minutes to two hours for an unhurried meal.

My verdict: Tanino is the safest choice for a memorable vineyard lunch without paying for the most expensive menu.

Botánico: relaxed garden dining

Best for: casual lunches, fresh produce and Italian-style dishes

Hours: Thursday to Sunday, 12:00 to 4:30 p.m.

Reservations: 24 hours ahead

Botánico takes its cue from the estate’s organically managed orchard. Vegetables, herbs, flowers and other seasonal produce shape the menu, which has included fresh pasta, Italian-style pizza, antipasti and vegetable dishes.

There is less ceremony here than at Tanino. I would pick it for a lighter lunch after a morning tasting, or if the garden-to-table side of the estate appeals to you.

Menus change with the season, so check that a dish is on before you plan around it.

Casa Mirador: for a special occasion

Best for: anniversaries, celebrations and serious food-and-wine lovers

Hours: weekend lunch only, Saturday and Sunday

Length: about 3.5 to 5 hours

Age policy: 18 and over only

Reservations: 48 hours ahead, at casamirador@casasdelbosque.cl

Casa Mirador is the estate’s most ambitious dining room. It stands on a hillside above the vineyards, with wide valley views and a century-old hawthorn tree beside the building.

The setting alone makes it one of the most appealing places to eat in the valley, and the menu goes further. The flagship experience is a nine-course tasting menu, with each course matched to one of the winery’s top wines. The Casa Mirador Tour & Nine-Course Dining package, a vineyard tour followed by the lunch, is CLP 165,000.

That is a big spend, and a very different afternoon from an ordinary winery lunch. A normal visit with lunch takes two or three hours; the full Casa Mirador lunch takes most of the afternoon.

My verdict: for an anniversary, honeymoon or milestone birthday, this is the one to book. For an ordinary sightseeing day, I would eat at Tanino and spend the difference on a second winery.

Booking note: the winery’s own pages disagree on the menu. The Casa Mirador reservation page describes nine courses, while the restaurants page mentions a seven-course menu. Confirm the number of courses and the wines included when you reserve.

Other things to do at Casas del Bosque

Tastings and meals are the main draw, but the estate also sells outdoor and hands-on experiences.

The winery also sells a helicopter experience from Santiago’s Tobalaba aerodrome, with a vineyard tour and the nine-course Casa Mirador lunch; the price is on request.

Not every activity runs every day. Some are seasonal, and some need advance booking or a minimum number of people.

Cycling through the vineyards

In spring or autumn, a bike is a pleasant way to see more of the estate. The self-guided option has beginner and advanced routes; the guided ride adds commentary and a tasting.

Check the weather before you book. Vineyard tracks can be uneven or dusty, and summer afternoons get warm.

Winemaker for a Day

This is the most hands-on option. You blend your own wine, bottle it and design a label, which shows you how each grape contributes to the finished wine. It suits repeat winery visitors and anyone curious about blending.

Harvest Experience

In Casablanca the harvest usually runs from mid-March to early May, depending on the grape and the year. In the cool 2021 season at Casas del Bosque, picking ran from 31 March to the start of May.

The Harvest Experience lets you join the work in the vineyard. It runs only during the picking season, so ask whether it is available on your date.

Which Casas del Bosque wines should you try?

If you have time for only a few wines, focus on the styles that make the estate and the valley interesting.

Sauvignon Blanc

Casablanca Sauvignon Blanc is usually fresh and lively, with citrus, green fruit and herbal aromas. The Pacific’s cooling influence keeps the acidity, which makes it a good wine for a warm afternoon.

Try it with: seafood, fresh goat cheese, salads or ceviche.

If you usually drink New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, compare how Casablanca balances fruit, herbs and acidity.

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is one of the most interesting red grapes in Chile’s cool coastal regions. At its best it shows strawberry, cherry and other red fruit, sometimes with earthy or savory notes. It is lighter than Cabernet Sauvignon and very good with food.

Try it with: roast chicken, mushrooms, salmon or grilled vegetables.

Chardonnay

Casablanca Chardonnay ranges from crisp and citrusy to richer and more textured, depending on how much oak the winemaker uses.

Try it with: seafood, roast poultry, creamy dishes or mushroom pasta.

La Trampa

La Trampa is the estate’s signature premium red, a blend of Syrah and Malbec with a little Pinot Noir. It is fuller than the delicate reds Casablanca is known for.

Try it with: grilled meat, rich mushroom dishes or aged cheese.

Gran Bosque Cabernet Sauvignon

Gran Bosque is a Cabernet Sauvignon from the Maipo Valley. Tasting it next to the Casablanca wines shows the difference between Chile’s cool coast and its warm inland valleys, which is useful if you are touring more of the country.

Bo sparkling wine

The estate also makes Bo, a sparkling wine. A glass makes a pleasant start to lunch, especially at an outdoor table in the gardens.

How to get to Casas del Bosque Winery

The winery is near the town of Casablanca, between Santiago and the Pacific coast. The address is Hijuela Nº 2, Ex Fundo Santa Rosa, Casablanca, Valparaíso Region, Chile. It is outside the town, so you need transport.

From Santiago

The drive takes about 1 to 1.5 hours each way, longer when traffic around Santiago and on Ruta 68 is heavy. Head west on Ruta 68 toward Casablanca. The estate is outside the town, so set your navigation app to the winery’s entrance, not to “Casablanca”.

If you plan to taste several wines, a guided tour or a private driver is the easiest option.

From Valparaíso

Casas del Bosque is about 40 km from Valparaíso, which makes a half-day or full-day outing easy. Allow 40 to 60 minutes by car, depending on your starting point and traffic. From the coast you can book a private transfer or a wine tour; our guide to wine tours from Valparaíso and Viña del Mar lists the tours with coastal pickup.

From Viña del Mar

Viña del Mar is also a practical base for the valley. Allow 45 to 70 minutes by car, depending on where you are staying. A morning tour followed by lunch works well from the coast.

Can you visit without a car?

Yes, but doing it all by public transport is awkward. Buses run between Santiago and Casablanca, but the winery is not within walking distance of the town center. You need a taxi or transfer for the last stretch and, more importantly, for the return. Ride-hailing is unreliable in rural wine areas.

I would pick one of three approaches:

1. Join an organized winery tour with pickup.
2. Book a private driver for the day.
3. Drive yourself only if you will not drink, or bring a designated driver.

If everyone in your group wants to taste, a guided tour is the least complicated choice.

Best Casas del Bosque tours from Santiago

Several operators include Casas del Bosque on a day from Santiago, but the stop varies: on some it is a tasting, on others only a lunch stop where you pay for your own meal. The Casas del Bosque tours page compares every one on this site; these are the main types.

Option 1: a Casas del Bosque tasting with lunch

Best for: a complete winery day without arranging transport.

These tours usually combine transport from Santiago, a guided winery visit, a tasting, lunch at Tanino and the drive back. The Casas del Bosque Winery Tour with Tasting and Tanino Lunch includes a four-wine tasting and a three-course lunch at Tanino with two paired wines, from $130 per person with 4.1 from 19 GetYourGuide reviews, a small review count so far. Casas del Bosque: Wine Tasting, Lunch and Transfer also includes a three-course lunch, from $249 with 5.0 from only 9 reviews.

What to check: whether the tasting and the meal are both in the price, or one is charged on the day.

Option 2: a Casablanca Valley multi-winery tour

Best for: comparing several wineries in one day.

These days visit two to four wineries. A good one pairs a large established estate with a smaller producer, so you see different styles and different kinds of visit. The private Emiliana, Bodega RE and Casas del Bosque tour includes a tasting at all three, from $329 per person with 4.5 from 8 Viator reviews. The shared Four Casablanca Wineries tour visits Emiliana, Bodegas RE and Casa del Molle and stops at Tanino for lunch at your own expense, from $139 with 4.8 from 671 Viator reviews; it does not include a Casas del Bosque tasting.

Don’t assume a tour stops at Casas del Bosque just because it visits the Casablanca Valley. Check the named stops, and whether they are guaranteed or can be swapped on the day.

Option 3: Casas del Bosque and Valparaíso

Best for: visitors with little time in Chile.

The valley lies between Santiago and the coast, so you can pair a winery with Valparaíso or Viña del Mar. None of the tours listed on this site combines a Casas del Bosque tasting with the coast; the coast days stop at another Casablanca vineyard. A private driver lets you split the day yourself, but a combined day can feel rushed. If wine is the main interest, spend most of the day in the valley.

Booking tip: before paying, check the tasting, whether lunch is included, the pickup area, the cancellation terms and the time at the winery. Two tours with similar titles can be very different days.

How much should you budget for a visit?

Your budget depends mostly on transport and on how elaborate a meal you want.

Budget example: two people visiting independently

Mid-range example: tour plus restaurant lunch

Premium example: Casa Mirador

Restaurant bills and private transport vary, so these examples leave out costs without a published price.

A bundled tour can cost less overall than booking each part, especially for two people who would otherwise hire a driver. Compare what is included: a cheaper tour is poor value if you then pay separately for the tasting and lunch.

Best time to visit Casas del Bosque

You can visit all year, but the estate changes with the seasons.

December to February: summer

Summer brings warm afternoons, long days and good weather for outdoor dining, picnics and vineyard walks. Weekends and holidays get busy, so book lunch and tastings ahead.

Mid-March to early May: harvest

Harvest is one of the best times to visit a working winery. Depending on the year and the grape, you may see picking and production, and you can ask about the Harvest Experience. The vines start turning from summer green to autumn color. It suits visitors who care about how wine is made as much as how it tastes.

May to August: winter

Winter is cooler and wetter, with changeable weather outdoors. Tastings and restaurant visits are still enjoyable, but cycling and other outdoor activities depend on the day. Confirm opening times, especially for seasonal experiences.

September to November: spring

Spring is a good time to visit before the summer heat. The vines put out new growth, the landscape turns green and walking temperatures are usually comfortable. October and November suit a tasting followed by lunch outdoors.

My favorite periods: mid-March to April for the harvest, and October to November for comfortable vineyard sightseeing.

Suggested Casas del Bosque itineraries

A relaxed half-day visit

Ideal for: visitors staying in Valparaíso or Viña del Mar.

These are suggested times, not confirmed winery slots. The plan gives you time for the tour and the restaurant without rushing either.

A full day from Santiago

Ideal for: travelers staying in Santiago.

This is a flexible plan. Leave enough time between wineries and check that your second booking fits around lunch.

A special-occasion itinerary

For an anniversary or honeymoon, I would not try to visit several wineries. Book the Casa Mirador lunch, arrange a private driver and leave the rest of the day open. Nine courses with paired wines and a valley view deserve a slow afternoon; adding more stops defeats the point.

What to know before you book

Make separate restaurant and tour reservations

A tour booking does not hold you a restaurant table. If you are planning the day yourself, make sure the tour time and the lunch reservation fit together.

Allow enough time for lunch

Allow at least 90 minutes for a relaxed meal. The Casa Mirador lunch takes 3.5 to 5 hours.

Book ahead for weekends

Tanino, Botánico and Casa Mirador have different opening days and notice periods. Book Casa Mirador well ahead: it serves only on weekends and only by reservation.

Confirm the language of your tour

Tours run in English, but not every slot does. Ask which language your session uses.

Wear comfortable shoes

Some tours walk through the vineyard and production areas. You do not need hiking boots, but closed shoes are a good idea.

Dress in layers

The valley gets Pacific breezes and can feel cooler and windier than Santiago. Bring a light jacket even on a warm-looking day.

Ask about dietary needs

If you have allergies, eat vegetarian or have other requirements, contact the restaurant before you book. Pairing menus have less room to adapt.

Arrange transport before you taste

Chile’s drink-driving laws are strict. If you want to drink the wine, book a driver or a guided tour.

Children and non-drinkers

The gardens and restaurants suit visitors who are not tasting, and nobody under 18 is served alcohol. Each activity has its own age rules, and the Casa Mirador lunch is for guests aged 18 and over only. If you are traveling with children, ask which restaurants and activities can take them before you book.

Casas del Bosque vs other Casablanca Valley wineries

Casas del Bosque is one of several wineries in the valley that welcome visitors. These are the main differences between the best known.

For a full day in the valley, pair Casas del Bosque with a contrasting winery. Emiliana shows you organic and biodynamic farming up close (see our Emiliana winery guide), while Bodegas RE takes a different approach in the cellar. Two different wineries make a better day than two large estates with similar tours. The best Casablanca Valley wineries compares the rest.

Should you visit Casas del Bosque?

Casas del Bosque is one of the easiest wineries in the valley to recommend because it suits several kinds of traveler. You do not need to know much about wine to enjoy the setting, and you do not need the most expensive experience to have a good visit.

For a first trip to Chilean wine country, book the Aromas Wine Tour, reserve lunch at Tanino and leave time to enjoy the vineyards. If you are celebrating, the nine-course Casa Mirador lunch is a very different, more indulgent reason to come.

Either way, the estate makes a good case for treating the Casablanca Valley as a destination, not only a stop between Santiago and the coast.
