Colchagua Wine Tours — Local services in Santa Cruz

I cannot recommend Colchagua Wine Tours enough. We stayed in Colchagua for two nights as part of our honeymoon. We wanted to learn more about wine and experience what Chile has to offer. Connie and the team organised everything for us. Connie worked with us to find out what we wanted and put the perfect itinerary together. We had two guides / drivers across our three day itinerary, Francisco and Patricio. Both were excellent and went over and above for us, with last minute changes to the itinerary and doing everything they could to make our time in Colchuaga perfect. They know all the wineries intimately and they also know the best restaurants. They also organise tours and transport from Santiago to Colchuga and to the other wine regions closer to Santiago, Casablanca for example. We decided to use the buses to save money for wine. Connie went the extra mile and helped us with where to sit on the bus to avoid the strong sun. When our bus arrived, Fransisco was there waiting for us. On our return to Santiago, Patricio helped us get onto the bus, and waited to make sure we were safely on our way. Fransisco is a fountain of knowledge. He gave us an excellent introduction to the area and the wineries. We had a truly luxury experience with private transport, and truly personal and exceptional attention. If you are visiting Chile and want to experience Chilean wine, I strongly recommend using Colchuga Wine Tours. We are now working with Connie to plan a day excursion to Casblanca...

Highest Quality Experience, Highly Recommend

Connie and Francisco run a great operation. In looking for an English speaking tour in Colchagua we saw the great reviews on TripAdvisor and had our expectations exceeded.

We sent a list of wineries for a custom tour and Connie made some suggestions to come up with a full day with tours at Montes, Lapostolle, and MontGras and a lunch at the restaurant at Viña Viu Manent. All of the visits were interesting and we had some great wines.

Most of all we enjoyed getting to know Francisco, he is Chilean, lived in the US for 30 years and speaks perfect English. He was so kind in making sure our day went really well and adding little additional aspects to the trip like visiting Carmelo the giant horse at Viu Manent and making suggestions for a great road side fine-dining restaurant, Entre Rios, for our drive to Santiago the next day.

He was also kind in giving a ride to another couple we met on a tour, at our request, that was planning to walk 20 minutes to another winery in the...

We had a great one-day deluxe wine tour. From the start, Connie arranged everything via email with a relatively small deposit to reserve our date. Patricio, our driver, picked up our group of six promptly at our arranged time in a very comfortable and air conditioned van. As we drove around, Patricio gave us some additional information about the area in English. We ended up stopping at two wineries before lunch. At the first, the winery representative gave us a walking tour of the grounds and a nice tasting. At the second, we did a vertical tasting of one of their wines. After the second winery, we were dropped off for lunch (at our own cost) at a wonderful place where we had a great time. After lunch, we visited one of the more commercial wineries (not my favorite) for a tour and a tasting. Overall, the day was wonderful and Patricio was a very safe and engaging driver. He even stopped at a grocery store on the way home so we could buy provisions for dinner. I highly recommend taking a wine tour with...
