Small-Group Tour at Matetic Vineyard in Rosario Valley from Santiago

Summary

Receive a morning pickup from your Santiago hotel. You’ll travel aboard an air-conditioned van as you travel out of the Chilean capital, heading to the Rosario Valley. When you arrive at Matetic, you’ll get an introduction to the story of the vineyard’s founder, Jorge Matetic. Inspired by the area’s proximity to the chilly winds of the Pacific and mineral rich granite soils, Matetic started the winery with goal of producing Syrah-style grapes in this uncharacteristic cool-climate environment. Spend some time exploring the grounds of this scenic winemaking operation, learning about the organization’s focus on organic and biodynamic production processes. You’ll also have time to tour the grounds, including more than 370 acres (150 hectares) of grapes, plus take a look at the aging room and tank room. Wrap up your session with a tasting session hosted either in the vineyard’s underground cellar, or out on the outdoor terrace with views of the winery vineyards. At the end of your experience you’ll be dropped back at your hotel in Santiago.

About operator:

MTO Tour is a company that renews the concept of tourism in Chile, thus adding important aspects that are not considered in the tourism industry in Chile, such as: -Regular tours in vans with maximum 8 passengers: This make feature better service, because the interaction between the guide or the driver and passengers is more close, with each of the passengers, without neglecting passengers that can be found in the last seats. In the case if you need private service with a big number of people that want be all together on the tour we have available vehicles. -Regular excursions and guided tours spoken in just 1 language: One of the main claims of passengers visiting Chile booking a regular tour, is the mixture of several languages on the same tour . This becomes a chaos to the person doing the tour because it can not deliver the same information for 2 or more different languages in a form fluent. That is why MTO Tour is your best option
