Founded in 1541 by Pedro de Valdivia, Santiago de Chile lost most of the architectural legacy of that time due to earthquakes and fires. But from the beginning of the 20th century, tourism in the city has grown manifold thanks to the developing wine routes that lie all around the beautiful capital of Chile.

Santiago is the administrative and political capital of Chile where everything is centralized, it embodies the main center of finance, industry, culture and communications, only the congress now sits in Valparaiso.

Wine tours in Santiago have become a popular affair thanks to the numerous wineries and vineyards that surround it. These wineries have carved out a name for themselves in the world of international wines and wine tourism. Santiago is often just a place to stop for a day or two before heading to another destination. The city, however, has its own attractions and is also the safest capital of the continent, so you can walk there safely. Some of the finest wine regions, however, are just a few minutes from the city and hence make for ideal destinations for one-day wine tours in Santiago.

The wine tours in Santiago can vary from leisure and exclusive activities in the vineyards to adventure sports activities or gastronomic experiences. These wine activities can see you experiencing guided wine tasting and food pairing sessions, biking tours around the Chilean valleys, cooking classes and spa sessions in some of the finest wine hotels in the region as well as exclusive food and wine affairs at some fine-dining restaurants.
