Concha y Toro Vineyard Tour from Santiago with Transfer and Tasting

About This Experience

Unlike the bus trips to Concha y Toro that leave from set meeting points, this one comes to your door. The operator, Ruta Chile, picks you up at your Santiago hotel and drives you to Pirque, about an hour each way by the itinerary. Reviewers point out that the operator handles transport and tickets, while the visit itself is led by Concha y Toro's own staff.

A guide receives you in Don Melchor Square with a glass of wine and the Pirque vineyard laid out in front. Carrying that glass, you stroll through the old park to the Casona, the house where the Concha y Toro family lived, and then into the vines to hear how the estate is farmed and managed. The last stop is the old cellar, where a Cabernet Sauvignon is poured and the legend reviewers know as the Casillero del Diablo story is told.

You pick between two versions. Standard covers the van, entry, the guided visit and three tastings. Premium tacks on a guided session with four Marqués de Casa Concha varieties and cheeses, so you stay longer at the winery; one reviewer thought it worth doing, if expensive.

With about 2 hours at the estate and around 4 hours door to door, this is a half-day plan rather than a full wine day across several valleys. Nobody under 18 can join and it is not advised during pregnancy, so carry ID. Spanish, English and Portuguese guiding are all offered. It holds 4.3 from 557 GetYourGuide reviews, and you can cancel free up to 24 hours ahead.
