Concha y Toro: classic or Marqués
Both visit Concha y Toro, in Pirque, a winery founded in 1883. The classic tour is the shorter one: a guided visit and 3 tastings. The Marqués tour adds about an hour, a split tasting (3 traditional wines, then 4 premium wines with cheese) and a presentation with a winemaker. The listings do not say what the premium wines are, so ask if a particular wine matters to you.
Santa Rita and Undurraga
On paper they are twins: about 5 hours, a guided visit, 4 tastings and 1 glass. The listings describe Santa Rita as history and tradition in the Maipo Valley and Undurraga as one of the traditional wineries of the valley, with a visit to the installations and vineyards. Undurraga, established in 1885, has its estate in Talagante. Choose by the house you want to see; if you want Undurraga with the coast, see <a href="https://santiagowinetour.com/guias/wine-and-coast-in-one-day-from-santiago-isla-negra-algarrobo-undurraga">the Isla Negra and Algarrobo day</a>.
Alyan at sunset
Alyan is the evening option: 6 hours, a visit to the winery, 6 tastings and an informal dinner while the sun goes down over the vineyards. The listing does not give times; the hour of sunset changes with the season, so the departure time is confirmed by WhatsApp. It does not list a glass.
What the five have in common
Every listing puts the meeting point in Santiago and says the exact point and the time are confirmed by WhatsApp. Depending on the day and the operator it can be a meeting point or a pick-up, so do not assume hotel pick-up: ask when you confirm. Every listing says the guide is bilingual in Spanish and Portuguese. None mentions English, so if you need it, ask before the day.
