Discover Chile - An Excellent Introduction to a Stunning Country. This was an excellent trip. Having seen many stunning photographs of Chile, I went on the holiday with high expectations. I was not disappointed and indeed my expectations were exceeded. It is a truly stunning country with a huge variety of dramatic scenery, friendly people and interesting wildlife. This trip is a very good introduction to the country, covering a lot of territory in two weeks, allowing you to identify the bits to come back to with more time at a later date.
Beautiful gardens and venue. Not so good on the wine production. Seen lots of barrel before Title says it all. The summer house is beautiful but we could not go inside although told all about it. Gardens amazing. Tastings good. Took the extra tasting and sorry. A few pieces of cheese and the four $40 wine tastes were ok but they were just $40 wines. The winery did not share a taste of their top brands. Disappointing. And the extra tasting sommelier obviously had been tasting a bit more before our group. He was rarely on in his comments with the pours he had just made. Confusing. Best of the tour was ability to taste grapes on the vine. Would have liked a bit more of that and less about a house you could not go in. An OK tour and if in the great city of Santiago not a bad idea to take an hour drive for the basic tour. The wine shop by the way was probably the best seen of all wineries visited. We’ll set up and very well done. Our driver to and from, Rene’ was terrific.
Wow, this was an amazing, awesome, fantastic holiday. Chile is a great place to visit, especially for the physical geography. Holiday went like clockwork, with a great guide. I don't really want to say too much because then everyone will go!
