The Best of Central Chile

Arrival and journey to the heart of Chilean wine country

After your arrival in Chile, you’ll be taken to the eastern end of Colchagua, one of Chile’s most prominent wine valleys. Soak up the views of the incredible landscapes on the way to your beautiful hotel.

  Noi Blend was formerly a manor house converted into an urban chic oasis in the relaxed countryside of Palmilla, just a few minutes away from the wine country.

Biking in the Colchagua Valley

Now it’s time to head to Colchagua Valley, one of Chile’s most renowned wine regions. Taste full-bodied Carmeneres, racy Syrahs, and other exquisite wines. Pedal through vineyards on your way to 115-year-old Carmenere vines, where the winemakers have been crafting Bordeaux-style blends since the 19th century. You’ll then embark on a 9-mile bike ride to one of the area’s most respected wineries.  Enjoy a wine-pairing lunch before heading back to your hotel for the rest of the afternoon.

Coastal winds and wines

On day 3 you’ll discover one of the most daring and innovative wineries in the country as you cruise along Ruta de Fruta towards the coastal San Antonio Valley. Taste award-winning gewürztraminers and sauvignon blanc, and have a delicious lunch at a winery tucked amongst hundreds of acres of vineyards. To top it all off, you’ll visit the mystical Isla Negra where  the famous poet, Pablo Neruda, lived. Tonight you’ll relax at your hotel in Algarrobo, Isla Negra’s quaint neighboring town.
