From Maipo Valley to Colchagua Valley: Journey to Colchagua Valley — Into the Heart of Reds
After breakfast, set out on a scenic drive south from the Maipo Valley into the world-renowned Colchagua Valley, a region celebrated for its lush vineyards, rolling hills, and powerhouse red wines like Carménère, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah. As the landscape transitions into sun-drenched plains dotted with olive groves and quaint farmhouses, you’ll feel a deeper connection to Chile’s viticultural soul.
Upon arrival, check in at the Viu Manent Wine Lodge, a charming boutique retreat nestled among the estate’s own vines. The lodge blends rustic elegance with wine-country serenity, offering panoramic views of the surrounding Andes foothills. After settling in, step aboard a horse-drawn carriage for a leisurely ride through the vineyard. It’s a timeless way to explore the estate, with the scent of eucalyptus and the soft rustle of vines accompanying your journey.
Later, unwind with a stroll through the vineyard’s trails or simply relax on your private terrace. As evening falls, gather for a welcome dinner featuring flame-grilled meats, seasonal vegetables, and a bold glass of estate-grown Syrah. The atmosphere is both intimate and celebratory—an invitation to slow down and savor each bite and sip.
