When you mix our passion for biking with our knowledge of Chile’s famous wine valley, the Maipo valley, you get the most unique wine tour available in Chile.
We have mapped out an awe-inspiring route through the valley, offering amazing vistas of the vineyards back-dropped with the majestic Andes. You’ll be able to ride through the vineyards themselves, giving you a chance to inspect the vines and grapes up close.
Itinerary
We start in the morning by picking you up at your hotel and heading south to the wine country by private transport.
Once in the wine country, we off load the bikes and ride through three vineyards and the small pueblos which the vineyards support. The three vineyards vary not only in the wine they produce but also in the background of their origin. We visit a rustic family-owned estate producing a wide variety of wine including Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere (thought to be extinct until its rediscovery in Chile in 1995); a contemporary vineyard, started by a wealthy Santiago family to produce high quality Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Syrah and Cot (Chile’s version of the famous Argentine Malbec); and finally we finish in a 100% organic vineyard where we'll taste wine directly from the tanks. Followed by a picnic lunch and tastings from all 3 vineyards in the front garden of the owner's 19th century hacienda.
Our bike and wine tour isn’t a standard tour of the most popular vineyards with big gift shops. It's the best way to truly experience the real Chilean wine country.
