Valparaíso, Viña del Mar and Casablanca Valley Wine Tour

About This Experience

The day starts in Viña del Mar with short stops at the Flower Clock (5 minutes) and the Moai statue outside the Fonck Museum (10 minutes), passing along Avenida Perú on the seafront. Next is Caleta Portales (10 minutes) before the tour moves into Valparaíso, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The walking tour covers Cerro Concepción and Cerro Alegre, Baburizza Palace, Paseo Gálvez, Paseo Gervasoni and Paseo Atkinson (about 10 minutes each), the Piano Staircase, Ascensor El Peral and Plaza Sotomayor (15 minutes). A ticket for a historic funicular ride is included. The Casablanca Valley stop lasts 45 minutes, with a wine tasting at a vineyard; the listing does not name the winery.

Hotel pickup and drop-off in Santiago are included, in an air-conditioned vehicle. The pickup time and your guide's name are sent the day before, after 8pm, by WhatsApp or email. Guides speak English, Spanish and Portuguese, and because this is a shared small-group tour, it may be run in more than one language on the day. Depending on vineyard scheduling, the tasting may be in the morning or the afternoon. The same operator lists this tour on Viator at about 10 hours.

It suits travelers who want to see Viña del Mar and Valparaíso properly and finish with a single tasting. The walking section in Valparaíso takes up most of the day, so it is a coast tour with wine; if you want two or three winery visits, compare it with the Casablanca-only tours on this site. Drop-off at Valparaíso Port can be arranged on request, which helps cruise passengers.

Lunch is not included. There is free time for lunch in Valparaíso, with seafood and Chilean restaurants to choose from, at your own expense. Children count as ages 3 to 12. The tour is not wheelchair accessible. If you need drop-off in Valparaíso or Viña del Mar, tell the operator how many bags you have, or they cannot be carried in the van. Airport pickup is possible for USD 15 per person each way, subject to availability, by arrangement with the operator.
