Itinerary

1. Begin your day at the VIK winery, located in the breathtaking Millahue Valley, known as the "Golden Place" by the indigenous Mapuche people. This estate spans 4,300 hectares of stunning Chilean wilderness, with 327 hectares dedicated to vineyards. The VIK terroir features 12 unique valleys, each with distinct microclimates and exposures, cooled by breezes from the Pacific and Andes mountains, offering complexity and variety. Under the guidance of Chief Winemaker Cristian Vallejo, VIK ensures meticulous viticulture and viniculture practices. Grapes are hand-harvested, and natural fermentation processes are used, with aging in a mix of new and used French oak barrels.

About Santiago

Santiago, Chile's capital, sits in a broad valley beneath the snowy Andes, a city of hilltop parks, bohemian neighbourhoods and vineyards close by.

The Plaza de Armas, with its cathedral and grand old post office, is the historic heart, and the neoclassical La Moneda Palace stands a few blocks away. The Museum of Pre-Columbian Art holds treasures from across the Americas, and the Central Market serves seafood beneath a soaring iron roof.
