Concha y Toro winery tour: tickets, tastings and how to get there from Santiago
How to visit Concha y Toro in Pirque: the winery's own tickets from CLP 50,000, what each tasting pours, the Casillero del Diablo cellar, lunch at Bodega 1883 and getting there from Santiago.
Book the winery’s Premium Guided Tour if this is your first visit to Concha y Toro. It costs CLP 50,000 on the winery’s own site, takes 120 minutes and covers the park, the museum, the Casillero del Diablo cellar and four wines. If you have no car, the Concha y Toro Premium Wine Center Tour adds a shared bus from Santiago: 5 hours in all, from $105 per person and rated 4.8 from 934 reviews on Viator. For hotel pickup instead, the Concha y Toro Vineyard Tour with Transfer and Tasting below takes about 4 hours door to door with three wines, from $82; it is rated 4.3 from 559 reviews on GetYourGuide, so read the recent ones first.
The estate is in Pirque, in the Maipo Valley, about 45 minutes’ drive south of downtown Santiago by the winery’s own estimate. Don Melchor de Concha y Toro founded it in 1883, and his cellar gave Casillero del Diablo its name and its devil story. In July 2025 the company opened its Centro del Vino here, with new exhibits and a longer list of tastings, so older write-ups of the “traditional tour” no longer match what you can book.
Choose your ticket by how much wine you want to taste. The standard tour is for first-timers; the Marqués de Casa Concha and Cellar Collection upgrades are for people who already know their Cabernet from their Carmenère; and the night tour with dinner is for couples. Winery prices below are in Chilean pesos as listed in October 2026; tour prices are “from” figures per person in US dollars, and the live price is always on the booking page.

Is Concha y Toro worth visiting?
Yes, especially if this is your first winery visit in Chile. You get attractive grounds, 19th-century buildings, a guided tasting and a good story, and you need no wine knowledge to enjoy any of it.
It is the wrong choice if you want a tiny family winery or a quiet hour with the winemaker. Concha y Toro is one of the largest producers in Latin America, and the visit runs like a well-organised attraction, with set departures and groups.
| What you’re looking for | Our assessment |
|---|---|
| A first Chilean winery visit | Excellent choice |
| History and famous wine labels | Excellent choice |
| Cabernet Sauvignon and other Chilean reds | Very good |
| A romantic tasting | Good, especially the sunset and night options |
| A small independent winery | Look elsewhere |
| An easy half day from Santiago | Very good with arranged transport |
| Several wineries in one day | Pair it with a second Maipo estate |
Its strongest point is range. You can enjoy the park and the cellar legend knowing nothing about wine, or pay for a seated tasting of the premium labels if you already do.
If you have more than one day for wine near Santiago, GetYourGuide also sells tastings at other Maipo Valley estates such as Santa Rita, Undurraga and Cousiño Macul, Casablanca Valley days that end in Valparaíso and Viña del Mar, and trips into the Andes at Cajón del Maipo.
Concha y Toro winery tour prices: which ticket to book
These are the winery’s own tickets, sold on Concha y Toro’s tour catalogue and checked in October 2026. They cover the visit only: you make your own way to Pirque. The last column is the nearest tour on this site that includes transport from Santiago.
| Experience | Winery price | Length | Best for | Our pick with transport |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Premium Guided Tour | CLP 50,000 | 120 min | First-time visitors | Premium Wine Center Tour, from $105, 4.8 from 934 reviews |
| Premium + Concha y Toro Tasting | CLP 60,000 | 165 min | A longer tasting for a small step up | None; book with the winery |
| Diablo Wine Sunset | CLP 60,000 | 210 min | A relaxed late-afternoon visit | None; book with the winery |
| Premium + Marqués de Casa Concha | CLP 80,000 | 165 min | A structured tasting of the premium range | Marqués de Casa Concha Tasting, from $135, 4.9 from 1,223 reviews |
| Premium + La Gran Barra Pairing | CLP 90,000 | 180 min | Wine with food at the wine bar | None; book with the winery |
| Premium + Cellar Collection | CLP 100,000 | 165 min | Enthusiasts and collectors | None; book with the winery |
| Premium + Lunch at Bodega 1883 | CLP 100,000 | 160 min | Food and wine in one booking | None; book with the winery |
| Casillero del Diablo Night + Dinner | CLP 100,000 | 180 min | Couples and evening visitors | Night Tour and Dinner Show, from $207, 4.8 from 239 reviews |
The catalogue also listed a Harvest Experience for the 2026 vendimia at CLP 120,000 (180 minutes, with lunch), plus two packages with a stay at Las Majadas, a hotel partner. Seasonal experiences come and go, so check the catalogue for your dates.
Our recommendation: pay for the wine, not the cellar
For most visitors the Premium Guided Tour at CLP 50,000 is enough. It includes the four-glass tasting, the museum, the park and the Casillero del Diablo cellar, and you keep the glass.
If you like wine, the CLP 60,000 ticket with the Concha y Toro tasting is the easiest upgrade: a separate seated tasting for CLP 10,000 more. If the cellar is all you came for, skip the dearer packages, because every ticket on the list includes it.
These are prices for the winery visit, not for a day out from Santiago. Work out how you will get there and back before you compare them with a tour.
What you see on a Concha y Toro winery tour
1. The park and Casa Don Melchor
The visit starts in the park around Casa Don Melchor, the family’s 19th-century summer house. The park covers about 22 hectares, with old trees, ornamental gardens and views across the estate.
You see the house from outside. Do not expect a standard ticket to take you inside.
This is the most photogenic part of the visit, especially on a clear day with the Andes behind.
2. The Casillero del Diablo legend
For many visitors the highlight is the underground cellar behind Casillero del Diablo, the “Devil’s Cellar”.
The story goes that Don Melchor found bottles disappearing from his private reserve. To scare off the thieves, he spread a rumour that the devil lived in his cellar. The thefts stopped, or so the legend says, and the tale later became the name of one of Chile’s best-known wine brands.
Today the guide tells the story in an immersive show before you go down to the old cellar itself. Half history lesson, half theatre, it is most fun if you already know the label from home. The Centro del Vino, opened in July 2025, rebuilt this part of the visit.
3. The wine museum and interactive exhibits
The Centro del Vino adds far more context than a walk through a cellar. The exhibits explain Chile’s growing conditions, the role of the Andes and the Pacific, the grape varieties, vineyard work and the company’s history.
That makes Concha y Toro a good choice for beginners. You can arrive not knowing Cabernet Sauvignon from Merlot or Carmenère and leave understanding why different parts of Chile make such different wines.
4. The cellars and the vineyard lookout
The premium route also takes in the Bodega de Guarda del Alto, the cellar linked to the higher-end wines, a lookout over the Pirque estate and a garden planted with different grape varieties.
By the time you reach the glasses, you have seen the landscape, the vines and the estate’s history, which makes the tasting easier to follow.
5. The tasting
The Premium Guided Tour pours four wines. The guide shows you how to look at a wine, find its aromas, describe its flavours and judge its structure.
The labels change, so do not book a standard tour expecting a particular vintage or flagship wine. The dearer tickets add separate seated tastings of higher-tier wines, some with cheese.
Every visitor on the standard tour takes home the tasting glass, according to the winery’s published programme.

Which Concha y Toro wines to try
Concha y Toro makes far more than Casillero del Diablo. Its labels run from everyday varietals to some of Chile’s most respected bottles, and a few names are worth knowing before you go.
Casillero del Diablo: the famous one
This is the winery’s best-known international brand and the natural place to start. The Cabernet Sauvignon is the one most people recognise, though the range covers other reds and whites too.
The style is approachable and made for broad appeal. For many visitors, the pleasure is seeing the place behind a bottle they have bought at home.
Marqués de Casa Concha: the step up
Marqués de Casa Concha is a more ambitious range, made from vineyards in different valleys to show how each grape responds to its site.
Look out for:
- Cabernet Sauvignon for structure, dark fruit and savoury notes.
- Carmenère for black fruit, spice and sometimes a herbal edge.
- Chardonnay, to compare with Chile’s cooler coastal regions.
- Pinot Noir when it is poured, for a lighter red.
A dedicated Marqués tasting is the upgrade to choose if you want to go beyond the most familiar label.
Don Melchor: the icon Cabernet
Don Melchor is one of Chile’s most celebrated Cabernet Sauvignons, grown in Puente Alto in the Maipo Valley. Its reputation rests on old alluvial soils, cool air from the mountains and careful winemaking, and it is far more structured and age-worthy than an everyday Cabernet.
A standard visit does not include Don Melchor. If tasting it is your goal, book an experience that names it or ask about it at the wine bar.
Other labels on the tasting lists
Depending on the ticket, you may also taste Terrunyo, Amelia or other premium ranges. Many of these wines come from other Chilean valleys, so not every glass poured in Pirque was grown there. A coastal Chardonnay next to a Maipo Cabernet makes the contrast easy to taste.
For the grapes and regions behind these wines, see our Chilean wine guide.
Premium tastings: are the upgrades worth it?
Premium Guided Tour + Concha y Toro Tasting
Winery price: CLP 60,000, 165 minutes.
This adds a separate tasting of five wines to the standard tour and its four glasses. It suits visitors who want more time on the wine itself, not only on the history and the gardens.
Premium Guided Tour + Marqués de Casa Concha
Winery price: CLP 80,000, 165 minutes.
The winery’s best-seller adds a six-wine Marqués de Casa Concha tasting to the guided visit. You compare wines from one premium range side by side, so the differences in grape, region and style stand out. Choose it if you enjoy a structured tasting and talking about why a wine tastes the way it does.
With transport from Santiago, the Marqués de Casa Concha Tasting at Concha y Toro runs on a shared bus from Plaza de Armas, Av. Vitacura in Las Condes or Parque Arauco: 5 hours, ten wines with a cheese board, from $135 and rated 4.9 from 1,223 reviews on Viator. On GetYourGuide, the Marqués de Casa Concha Tasting Tour is also from $135, rated 4.6 from 93 reviews.
Premium Guided Tour + Cellar Collection
Winery price: CLP 100,000, 165 minutes.
This adds a seated tasting in the Bodega de Guarda del Alto with a premium cheese board, five wines on top of the four poured on the main tour. Book it if you care about premium wine. Beginners learn plenty on a cheaper ticket.
Premium Guided Tour + La Gran Barra Pairing
Winery price: CLP 90,000, 180 minutes.
The pairing moves the tasting to La Gran Barra, the wine bar beside Bodega 1883, with food served alongside the wines. Book it if you want something closer to a meal than a lecture.
The Casillero del Diablo night tour
For a visit that feels less like a vineyard tour, book the Casillero del Diablo Night Experience + Dinner. You meet the cellar legend after dark, with theatrical storytelling, wine and dinner.
The winery sells it at CLP 100,000 for 180 minutes, with two tastings, a walk through the park, the Casillero del Diablo experience and dinner. With transport, the Concha y Toro Night Tour and Dinner Show on Viator starts with sparkling wine, pours three wines on the tour, then serves a three-course dinner with two glasses at the wine bar. It takes 5 hours from a Santiago departure point, from $207 and rated 4.8 from 239 reviews; the guiding is in Spanish. On GetYourGuide, the Concha y Toro Night Tour with Dinner Show is also from $207, rated 4.1 from just 8 reviews, too few to judge it.
Who should book the night tour?
It suits couples, anniversaries and anyone drawn to the atmosphere of the Casillero del Diablo legend. Skip it if you want daylight vineyard photos or to visit several wineries.
Sort out the ride home before you book. Pirque is well outside central Santiago, and finding a car late in the evening is harder than at midday.
How to get to Concha y Toro from Santiago
The Centro del Vino is at Av. Virginia Subercaseaux 210, Pirque. The company describes it as about 20 km from downtown Santiago, and its FAQ puts the drive at about 45 minutes; allow up to 75 minutes at rush hour.
Option 1: a tour with transport
This is the easiest choice if you are staying in central Santiago. The Premium Wine Center Tour runs a shared bus from three city meeting points and includes the winery’s standard visit. For hotel pickup, the Concha y Toro Vineyard Tour with Transfer and Tasting on GetYourGuide takes about 4 hours door to door with three wines, from $82; it is rated 4.3 from 559 reviews, lower than the Viator options, so read recent reviews first. Some tours add a second winery, such as Santa Rita.
You avoid public transport after the tasting, the timing is fixed and the guide talks you through the valley on the way. Check whether the price includes both the transport and the winery ticket.
Option 2: the metro and a taxi
This is the cheaper way to go on your own without driving. The winery’s FAQ does not cover public transport, but the usual route is:
- Take Metro Line 4 to its southern terminus, Plaza de Puente Alto.
- Take a taxi or ride-hail car from there to the winery in Pirque.
- Arrange the return ride before you leave the estate, especially later in the day.
Journey times depend on where you start in the city. It works well if you are comfortable with local transport.
Option 3: a rental car
Drive south from Santiago towards Puente Alto and Pirque, then follow Av. Virginia Subercaseaux to the entrance. Parking is free for visitors.
Driving lets you add lunch or a second stop, but whoever drives cannot join the tasting: Chile’s limit for drivers is effectively zero.
Option 4: Uber or another ride-hail service
Tickets marked “Travel with Uber” on the winery’s catalogue let you add a private round-trip Uber transfer from your hotel or address in Santiago when you book; the winery also offers shuttle options. This suits couples and small groups who want to go on their own.
Check the fare for your date. The Uber label does not mean the ride is free or included in the ticket.
Which transport option is best?
| Transport | Best for | Main drawback |
|---|---|---|
| Tour with transport | Convenience, first-time visitors | Fixed timetable |
| Metro and taxi | Budget-minded independent travellers | Extra changes |
| Rental car | A flexible day | The driver cannot taste |
| Uber or private taxi | Couples and small groups | Variable fares and the ride home |
For a single visit, a winery ticket plus a taxi is perfectly reasonable. For two wineries in a day, an organised tour usually works out easier. Our Concha y Toro tours page compares every tour from Santiago that stops here.
Concha y Toro tours to book from Santiago
These are the ways to book a Concha y Toro visit. Check prices and availability for your dates.
1. The winery visit only
Best if you can arrange your own transport and want two to three hours at the estate. Book directly on Concha y Toro’s ticket catalogue.
2. Concha y Toro and Santa Rita with a private guide
Best if you want two heritage wineries and a full day in Maipo. The Private Maipo Valley Tour: Concha y Toro, Santa Rita and Undurraga adds a third tasting at Undurraga, with hotel pickup and your own guide: about 10 hours, from $636 per person for two, rated 5.0 from 31 reviews on Viator.
3. A premium tasting with transport
Best if you care most about the premium labels. The Marqués de Casa Concha tasting is the only tour on this site with a premium tasting and transport from Santiago. The Cellar Collection tasting is sold by the winery only.
4. The night tour with dinner
Best for an evening out or a more theatrical take on the cellar legend. Book the night tour and dinner show with transport, or the winery’s own Night Experience + Dinner if you have a car home.
Some third-party listings still describe an older “traditional” or “classic” tour. Compare their inclusions with the current Centro del Vino programme before you assume they are the same visit.
Eating at Concha y Toro: Bodega 1883
Allow time for a proper meal if you can. Bodega 1883 serves contemporary Chilean food in a building tied to the winery’s founding year, with dishes built on local produce and paired with Concha y Toro wines. Expect Chilean beef, seafood and regional produce on the menu.
The winery’s FAQ gives the restaurant’s hours as 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. from Tuesday to Saturday, and 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sundays and Mondays. Check the current menu and prices when you reserve, through the restaurant reservations button on the winery’s site.
You have two choices: the Premium + Lunch at Bodega 1883 ticket (CLP 100,000, 160 minutes), or a table booked separately after your tour. The separate table gives you more say over the meal; the package is simpler if you want everything arranged.
Can you visit the restaurant without a tour?
Yes. The winery says entry to Bodega 1883 and La Gran Barra, its wine bar, is free; you pay only for what you eat and drink. You do not need a tour ticket to visit either.
That helps if someone in your group is less keen on a guided tasting.
Can you visit Concha y Toro without booking a tour?
You can visit the restaurant and the wine bar without a guided visit, but not the cellars, the museum or the vineyard areas. Those are open only on a booked experience.
If you want to see the Casillero del Diablo cellar, take photos in the park and join a proper tasting, reserve a ticket. Departures run at set times, and the winery recommends booking ahead because capacity is limited, especially at weekends and in high season.
Best time to visit Concha y Toro
Chile’s seasons are the reverse of the northern hemisphere’s. The vineyards look their best from spring to harvest.
| Season | What to expect | Our verdict |
|---|---|---|
| September to November | Spring growth, green vines, usually pleasant weather | Excellent |
| December to February | Summer heat and sunny vineyards | Very good; prepare for the heat |
| March to April | Harvest activity and autumn colour | Excellent |
| May to August | Cool weather, some rain, bare vines | Good for indoor tastings |
Is harvest season worth it?
Yes. Chile’s grape harvest usually runs from late summer into autumn, and timing varies by grape and vineyard. March is often the liveliest month in central Chile, with harvest work and wine festivals.
A standard tour does not include grape picking, crushing or the working winery. For that, book an experience sold for the vendimia; Concha y Toro sold a separate Harvest Experience in 2026.
Best time of day
A late-morning tour is often the most practical if you travel on your own: you can finish, have lunch and get back to Santiago without rushing. Afternoon tours bring softer light, and the sunset and night tickets have more atmosphere. Choose by what matters most to you: photos, food or the tasting.
How much time to allow
The Premium Guided Tour takes 120 minutes, but leave time for arriving, checking in, shopping and eating.
For an unhurried visit on your own:
| Activity | Suggested time |
|---|---|
| Drive from Santiago | 45 to 75 minutes |
| Arrival and check-in | 15 to 20 minutes |
| Guided winery tour | 2 hours |
| Wine shop or extra photos | 20 to 30 minutes |
| Lunch, if you stay | 60 to 90 minutes |
| Return to Santiago | 45 to 75 minutes |
Allow four to five hours from Santiago for the winery alone, or about six with lunch. These are planning estimates, not an official itinerary.
Concha y Toro itineraries
Half day: a first winery visit
For travellers short on time:
- 9:00 a.m.: leave Santiago.
- 10:00 a.m.: arrive and check in.
- 10:30 a.m.: join your pre-booked tour, if a departure is available at that time.
- 12:30 p.m.: browse the wine shop or have a coffee.
- 1:00 p.m.: head back to Santiago.
This leaves the afternoon free for sightseeing in the city.
Full day: Concha y Toro and Santa Rita
For a fuller introduction to the Maipo Valley, pair two historic wineries. Visit Concha y Toro in the morning, have lunch, then taste at Santa Rita in Alto Jahuel. Santa Rita adds gardens, its own history and the Museo Andino; check its opening arrangements for your date.
The private Concha y Toro, Santa Rita and Undurraga tour handles the transport between them. To spend the whole day at Santa Rita instead, the Santa Rita Day Tour with Lunch and Andean Museum is from $207 and rated 4.8 from 426 reviews on Viator.
A food-and-wine day: Concha y Toro with lunch
Book a late-morning tour and a table at Bodega 1883 afterwards. This suits couples who do not want to rush between several wineries: you see the estate, learn about the wines and eat well without a complicated plan.
Is Concha y Toro good for families and non-drinkers?
There is more to the visit than the tasting: the gardens, the history and the exhibits. Families may enjoy the grounds and the Casillero del Diablo story.
Children can join the tour, but under-18s cannot enter the tasting room. They wait outside with an adult while the rest of the group tastes, according to the winery’s FAQ. Bodega 1883 has a children’s menu.
Non-drinkers can still enjoy the estate, but wine is at the centre of every ticket. Ask whether a non-alcoholic alternative is offered before you book. With very young children, the gardens and the restaurant may suit you better than a long premium tasting.
Practical information before you go
Opening hours and reservations
The winery’s FAQ says the Centro del Vino opens at 8:30 a.m. Tours, the restaurant and the evening experiences each keep their own times, so check the booking calendar for your date.
Accessibility
The winery says the Premium Guided Tour is wheelchair accessible. If you or someone in your group has reduced mobility, email ahead so staff can prepare the route; some historic areas have steps.
What to wear
Wear comfortable shoes rather than smart ones: the visit covers garden paths, outdoor areas and cellars. Bring a light layer even in summer, because the cellars are cooler than the gardens. In summer, a hat, sunglasses and water help outdoors.
Buying wine at the estate
The Centro del Vino has a shop selling Concha y Toro wines and merchandise, handy for gifts or for wines that are hard to find at home. Widely sold labels are not always cheaper here than in Santiago supermarkets or wine shops, so compare before you buy. If you are flying home, check your airline’s baggage limits and your country’s customs allowance first.

Concha y Toro, Santa Rita or Undurraga?
Concha y Toro is not the only established winery within easy reach of Santiago.
| Winery | Main attraction | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Concha y Toro | Casillero del Diablo legend, interactive exhibits, famous labels | First-time visitors |
| Santa Rita | Historic estate, gardens, Museo Andino | History and culture |
| Undurraga | Long winemaking history, gardens and classic tastings | A traditional winery feel |
Concha y Toro has the best-known brands. Santa Rita suits you if you enjoy museums and historic sites. Undurraga is another easy introduction to Chilean wine: its Undurraga Sibaris Tour ticket is from $37 and rated 4.7 from 103 reviews on Viator, and our Undurraga winery tours page covers the options with transport.
With half a day and an interest in a famous Chilean label, choose Concha y Toro. With a full day, two wineries add variety, as long as you leave time to enjoy each.

The Premium Guided Tour pours four wines. The upgrades add a separate tasting of five or six wines, depending on the ticket.
Can you visit Concha y Toro without a car?
Yes. Take a tour from Santiago, add an Uber transfer to your winery ticket, or take Metro Line 4 to Plaza de Puente Alto and a taxi from there.
Is Concha y Toro good for beginners?
Yes. The standard tour mixes wine basics with history, scenery and storytelling, and you need no wine knowledge to follow it.
Are there tours in English?
Yes. The winery runs tours in English, Spanish and Portuguese, though not every ticket runs in all three at every time. Check the language when you book.
Can you visit just the restaurant?
Yes. Entry to Bodega 1883 and La Gran Barra is free, and you do not need a tour ticket.
Is Concha y Toro the same as Casillero del Diablo?
No. Concha y Toro is the producer; Casillero del Diablo is one of its best-known brands. The Pirque visit includes the cellar behind the brand’s legend.
Do you need to book in advance?
Yes, especially for English-language tours, premium tastings, weekends and the night tour. The winery says capacity is limited.
Can you visit Concha y Toro and Santa Rita in one day?
Yes. Both are in the Maipo Valley, and private tours from Santiago combine them. Allow most of a day.
Should you book Concha y Toro?
Concha y Toro is one of the most popular wine trips from Santiago because it offers more than a row of glasses. The park is a lovely setting, the Casillero del Diablo cellar gives the visit a story, and the Centro del Vino makes it easy to follow even if you have never been to a tasting.
The standard tour is enough for most first-timers, especially if the legend and the estate are what draw you. If you love wine, upgrade to the Marqués de Casa Concha or Cellar Collection tasting. For a special evening, book the night tour with dinner.
Without a car, you will probably want a pickup and a ride home, especially if you want a second winery. Choose the ticket that matches your interest in wine and the time you have, then compare the tours with transport on our Concha y Toro tours page, or book the visit directly on the winery’s ticket catalogue.
