This full-day tour from Santiago spans two coastal cities in Chile and a prestigious winery in the Casablanca Valley. The morning is spent exploring Valparaíso and Viña del Mar, while the afternoon is dedicated to the Casas del Bosque wine estate.

Your experience begins with an early hotel pick-up in Santiago, followed by a 90-minute drive through lush green valleys to the coastal resort of Viña del Mar, where you’ll admire castles, gardens, and priceless works of art. Next, in the picturesque seaport of Valparaíso, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, you’ll explore an open-air gallery of street art, meet the owner of an independent gallery and enjoy a seafood lunch.

In the afternoon, at Casas del Bosque, you’ll explore the vineyards and get an exclusive look behind the scenes at one of Chile’s top wineries, known for its terroir-driven wines and sustainable practices. The day concludes with a private tasting of five signature wines, offering the perfect ending to an unforgettable journey.

This full-day experience, curated by Julio Peraldi, blends art and wine across two coastal cities and an award-winning winery.

You’ll have the opportunity to speak with local fishermen and observe marine life at Caleta Portales, a fishing hamlet between Valparaíso and Viña del Mar. Visiting early provides ideal photography conditions and allows you to witness the market coming to life for the day.

Later, you’ll have the exclusive privilege of meeting a curator and privately touring his art gallery. At Galería Espacio Rojo, owner Cristian Rojo will temporarily close his doors, giving you a rare opportunity to browse the collection in privacy.

After an intimate lunch with Julio, the afternoon is spent at a sustainable winery in the Casablanca Valley, Chile’s youngest wine region. You’ll explore the vineyards, cellars, and facilities with an expert guide before enjoying a curated tasting of signature wines cherry-picked for your group.

This full-day private tour of Valparaíso, Viña del Mar, and the Casablanca Valley starts in Chile's colorful port city. Caleta Portales is a kaleidoscopic fishing village where the morning's catch starts its transformation into culinary magic. You will stroll the sunlit pier where rows of vividly painted fishing boats bob like a floating artist’s palette against the cerulean bay, stopping to take photos and chat to fishermen.

As you wander through Caleta Portales, Julio will unveil the secrets of Chile’s marine ecosystems from Humboldt currents to mythic seabed wonders. You'll weave your way through a labyrinth of stalls brimming with glistening congrio (conger) and locos (abalone) all hauled straight from the Pacific’s bounty by generations of pescadores (fishermen).

Keep your camera ready: playful sea lions bask on sun-drenched docks, Humboldt pelicans glide in formation overhead, and cheeky seabirds dart for scraps. For a moment straight off a postcard, you'll toss a fish treat to the waters and watch the harbor erupt in a symphony of splashes and squawks.

Caleta Portales is raw, authentic Valparaíso. Bursting with color and sounds, this first stop is a feast for the senses. In Valparaíso, every wharf whispers adventure, every tide brings a new story.  

Experience Caleta Portales, a charming fishing hamlet in Valparaíso. 

Soul of the Seaside

After a morning steeped in art and poetry, you will indulge in Valparaíso’s vibrant culinary scene over a leisurely lunch break at Julio's favorite restaurant in town.

Julio will take you to Cafe del Pintor, a gastronomic gem nestled in the historic heart of the city where Chilean flavors are married with the bohemian spirit of Valparaíso. There, you'll dine on fresh seafood or other regional specialties with Julio on hand to guide you through the menu. 

Culinary Interlude 

The afternoon of this full-day tour from Santiago is spent at the Casas del Bosque winery in the Casablanca Valley. This is one of the top 50 wineries in the world and it rests in the heart of Chile's celebrated wine region. 

You'll begin your adventure with a private stroll among lush vineyards guided by a dedicated wine expert who will unravel the artistry behind the estate’s sustainable viticulture. You'll venture into the underground cellar and barrel store where the interplay of modern architecture and ancient winemaking traditions sets the stage for discovery. 

The climax awaits at Casa Mirador. This lookout perches atop a hill with panoramic views of the valley. A tasting of five wines completes the experience. 

You will uncover the secrets behind the estate's globally acclaimed, terroir-driven wines during an intimate, bespoke experience. This tour, delivered in tandem by an expert from the facility and Julio, takes you behind the scenes to places not usually accessible for the general public. You will learn about the winery’s eco-conscious practices.

The curated tasting includes five signature wines:

- La Cantera Sauvignon Blanc: Crisp, vibrant, and bursting with citrus and tropical notes. A refreshing ode to the valley’s cool mornings.
- Chardonnay Gran Reserva: Elegant layers of vanilla, stone fruit, and toasted oak, balanced by a mineral backbone.
- Pinot Noir Gran Reserva: Silky and nuanced, with wild berries and earthy undertones. A tribute to the valley’s delicate climate.
- Syrah Pequeñas: Bold and sun-kissed, blending dark fruit, spice, and a whisper of smokiness.
- Family Reserve: The crown jewel: a complex, limited-edition blend that embodies decades of passion and mastery.

Conclude this day trip from Santiago with a private wine tour and tasting in Casablanca, Chile. 

Among the Vines

Leaving Caleta Portales, you'll glide along Viña del Mar’s coastal cliffs seeing where history and fantasy collide. This 10-minute scenic drive passes two castles that seem plucked from European fairy tales.

There will be stops at two major points of interest for art buffs. On the seafront, you'll stand in awe of one of only three original casts of Auguste Rodin’s fiery bronze masterpiece, La Défense, where the French sculptor’s signature swirls like liquid rebellion. This defiant nude warrior, permanently locked in motion, gazes toward the Pacific, merging European artistry with Chile’s untamed coast.

You'll also confront the enigmatic gaze of an authentic Moai, carved from Rapa Nui’s sacred volcanic rock. This 13th-century sentinel - a UNESCO-recognized treasure - bridges Polynesia’s ancestral wisdom with Chile’s modern shores. Trace its weathered contours and feel the pulse of a civilization lost to time.

Julio will provide insights on architectural and artistic gems in the seaside resort of Viña del Mar and breath life into their histories. Learn how Wulff Castle, perched dramatically on a wave-lashed promontory, guards Viña’s cultural soul and note how its stone turrets and arched windows mirror the rugged Pacific coastline. 

Ross Castle, a Tudor reverie crafted in 1912 by visionary architect Cruz Montt, is a timber-beamed marvel that will transport you to Elizabethan England. Its diamond-pane windows and carved oak details whisper tales of old-world aristocracy, perfectly framed by manicured gardens that bloom against Chile’s coastal wildness. At Carrasco Palace, you'll step into 1912 Viña del Mar. This French Neo-Renaissance gem, commissioned by tycoon Emilio Carrasco, flaunts a mansard roof crowning its limestone facade like a Parisian château. 

This full-day experience continues with a private art tour in Viña del Mar, Chile. 

A Cultural Oasis

Begin your walking tour in the city of Valparaíso where streets become art. Ascend Avenida Alemania, a winding path where the Pacific Ocean whispers tales of sailors and poets. At the summit of Cerro Alegre (the Happy Hill), you'll feel how the air hums with creativity. Alleyways coil like secrets, staircases spiral into the unknown, and walls blaze with colors so bold they seem to defy gravity. 

The walking tour concludes with a private visit to Galería Espacio Rojo where you will have a private rendezvous with the curator. 

Julio will show you how Valparaíso reveals itself in layers: stray cats draped over sunlit stairwells, cable cars clattering like timeworn metronomes, and murals that pulse with the heartbeat of a city that refuses to be tamed. Every step is a brushstroke in a living masterpiece. This is no ordinary walk; it’s a pilgrimage through an open-air gallery, where the ghosts of Pablo Neruda and Violeta Parra linger in the rustle of painted leaves.

Galería Espacio Rojo, a sanctuary of vision, is the crescendo of the tour. For you, its doors close to the world, opening instead to an intimate dance with Chile’s avant-garde soul. Inside, sunlight spills across canvases where ancient Andean symbols collide with audacious modern strokes. Cristian Rojo, artist, curator, and keeper of the flame, will greet you like an old conspirator as he treats you to a private tour of his collection. 

Immerse yourself in street art on a private walking tour in Valparaíso, Chile.
