Santa Rita Vineyard Tour with Lunch combines guided cycling, premium tasting, and museum time in one full-day visit.
Getting started
Begin your day at your chosen Santiago meeting point, such as Plaza de Armas, Ricardo Lyon Av 32, Hotel Sheraton, Vitacura Av 2653, or Parque Arauco. After check-in, join your group-only vehicle for round-trip transfers that are exclusive to the group. During the drive, your bilingual English and Spanish-speaking guide introduces the Santa Rita vineyard visit and outlines the plan for the day.
What to expect
Santa Rita vineyard, historic cellars, and Andean Museum
Visit one of Chile’s most iconic vineyards, where agriculture, history, and culture share the same estate. Your time here combines outdoor exploration, cellar touring, and a look at an on-site collection of regional artifacts at the Andean Museum.
Features
- Explore the Santa Rita vineyard on a guided walk that explains the estate’s role in Chilean wine production while you are surrounded by vineyard rows and landscaped grounds.
- Join a guided visit to the historic cellars and hear the story of the “120,” learning how this episode connects Chilean history with the winery’s identity.
- Spend time in the Andean Museum, which houses more than 3,000 artifacts, and see how pre-Columbian and Andean objects are presented within the vineyard setting.
- An expert English and Spanish-speaking guide stays with your group throughout this visit, providing context, answering questions, and managing timing so you can focus on the experience.
Bicycle tour through the vineyards
Move from walking to riding as you head out on a bicycle tour through the vineyards. This section of the day highlights the landscape around Santa Rita from a different perspective.
Features
- Ride along scenic vineyard paths that run between the vines, giving you close views of the fields and a sense of the scale of the Santa Rita property.
- The bicycle tour through the vineyards is organized for your group only, so the pace and route are tailored to your group’s comfort and interests.
- Your bilingual English and Spanish-speaking guide accompanies the bicycle tour, pointing out specific plots and answering questions about grape varieties and cultivation as you go.
- Round-trip transfers, exclusive to the group, support this portion of the itinerary as part of the overall logistics that bring you to and from the cycling area within the estate.
- Bicycles are provided for the vineyard ride, so you do not need to bring your own equipment.
Tastings and premium sampling
After exploring the grounds, you move into a tasting setting to focus on Santa Rita’s wines. This session is designed for adults, with a structured progression through selected labels.
Features
- Take part in a tasting of 3 wines, composed of 1 Reserva and 2 Gran Reserva, so you can directly compare styles and quality levels from the Santa Rita portfolio.
- The tasting is for ages 18+ and is guided to help you identify aromas, flavors, and structure without framing the beverages as mood-enhancing or health-related.
- At the end of the tasting, receive a complimentary tasting glass to keep, which serves as a tangible memento of your time at the Santa Rita vineyard.
- Your bilingual English and Spanish-speaking guide remains available during the tasting to clarify any questions about grape varieties, winemaking, or the specific Reserva and Gran Reserva samples.
Three-course lunch
Once the tasting concludes, the focus shifts to a seated meal on the estate. This part of the visit allows time to relax and reflect on the morning’s activities.
Features
- Sit down to a three-course lunch that is included in your experience, providing a complete meal in one continuous service at the Santa Rita property.
- The setting for lunch places you surrounded by nature, with views of the estate environment that connect the food experience back to the vineyard landscape.

- After lunch, your group transitions back to the transport area according to the day’s schedule, with no extra on-site payments required for the included courses.
Round-trip transfers and return
When the on-site program is complete, you leave the estate and head back to Santiago. This final segment closes the loop between your selected meeting point and the vineyard.
Features
- Travel on round-trip transfers that are exclusive to the group, so you share the vehicle only with those on your booking from your chosen meeting point variant.
- The return journey takes you back to the same meeting point used at the start, whether Plaza de Armas, Ricardo Lyon Av 32, Hotel Sheraton, Vitacura Av 2653, or Parque Arauco.
- Your bilingual English and Spanish-speaking guide is present on the return drive, available for final questions about the Santa Rita vineyard, the historic cellars, or the Andean Museum.
