Five wine tours of 5 to 6 hours and one 10-hour day that adds the coast: what each listing includes, what it leaves out and how to choose.
No prices are written in this text: each card shows the current price at checkout. Everything below comes from each tour's listing.
Six day trips leave from Santiago. Three take about 5 hours and visit one Maipo Valley winery each (Concha y Toro, Santa Rita, Undurraga). Two take about 6 hours: the Concha y Toro Marqués tour, with seven tastings and a cheese board, and Alyan at sunset, with six tastings and an informal dinner. One takes about 10 hours and mixes the Undurraga winery with Isla Negra and Algarrobo on the coast. What the listings leave out: lunch (Alyan includes a dinner instead) and purchases at the winery. None promises hotel pick-up.
5 hours: one winery, 3 or 4 tastings. 6 hours: more tastings, with cheese or dinner. 10 hours: one winery plus the coast.

Half day or full day: how to choose
The listings give an approximate duration, not a schedule. We use 'half day' as a rule of thumb for the five tours of 5 to 6 hours; the 10-hour tour is a full day. If wine is the point, pick one of the five: they differ in the number of tastings and in what comes with them. If you want a day out with one winery and the coast, pick the 10-hour one. If you want to compare the five in detail, read <a href="https://santiagowinetour.com/guias/maipo-valley-wine-tours-from-santiago-concha-y-toro-santa-rita-undurraga-alyan">the guide to the Maipo Valley tours</a>.
Where these wineries are, and what is not sold here
The listings place Santa Rita, Undurraga and Alyan in the Maipo Valley. Concha y Toro is in Pirque, south-east of Santiago. Two other regions come up in every search: the Casablanca Valley, a cool valley near the coast known for white wines such as Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, and the Colchagua Valley, south of Santiago, known for Carmenère and Cabernet Sauvignon and about two and a half to three hours by car. None of the six tours visits them. Read <a href="https://santiagowinetour.com/guias/wine-and-coast-in-one-day-from-santiago-isla-negra-algarrobo-undurraga">how the coast day differs from a Casablanca tour</a> before you decide.
Meeting point, language and what to bring
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.
- Sunglasses, sunscreen and warm clothes (listed on every tour).
- Water and a snack for the 10-hour tour (listed).
- Children up to 2 do not pay if they travel on a lap; from 3 they pay the full fare (listed).
Frequently asked questions
Are these half-day tours?
Five of them are listed at about 5 or 6 hours. 'Half day' is our shorthand for that; the listings give an approximate duration and the time of departure is confirmed by WhatsApp.
Which tour has the most tastings?
The Concha y Toro Marqués tour: 7 tastings, 3 traditional wines and 4 premium wines with cheese, plus a cheese board and a presentation with a winemaker. Alyan lists 6.
Is lunch included?
Not on Concha y Toro, Marqués, Santa Rita, Undurraga or the Isla Negra day (lunch in Algarrobo is not included). Alyan includes an informal dinner instead.
Will I be picked up at my hotel?
The listings do not promise it. They say the meeting point is in Santiago and that the exact point and time are confirmed by WhatsApp. Depending on the day and the operator it can be a meeting point or a pick-up, so ask.
Is there an English-speaking guide?
The listings say the guide is bilingual in Spanish and Portuguese and do not mention English. If you need English, ask before booking.
Does any of them go to Casablanca or Colchagua?
No. The five winery tours are in the Maipo Valley and the 10-hour day combines Undurraga with the coast. Casablanca and Colchagua are not sold on this site.
Can I travel with children?
Yes. Children up to 2 do not pay if they travel on a lap; from 3 they pay the full fare, according to the listings.
