Review of Concha y Toro’s Marques premium wine tour from Santiago, with estate gardens, cellar visits, six tastings, cheese, and transfer tips.

“The tour of the vineyard itself was good but the overall tour was a total of 6 hours due to other passengers being picked up and taking 2 hours to return to our hotel in Santiago. So I would recommend the portion at the vineyard but not the overall tour.”

Cook Chilean dishes with Patty in her countryside home near Santiago, then share a warm dinner, drinks, stories, and local family traditions.

“Upon arriving in Santiago, Chile for the first time, my hope was to spend quality time with people who lived in and around this vibrant city. My evening with Patricia (Patty) and Enrique in Lampa made me feel like I was not brand-new to Chile but had already settled in and made friends. Such a lovely couple, and what fun I had making seafood pie and learning that the best Chilean meals start with one, perfect avocado and are awash with wine and laughter. The gorgeous crepe with strawberry marmalade that Patty made ended one of my most favorite evenings while staying in this country.”

“The chef arranged for an Uber to pick us up at the port and drive us to his mother's house where he taught us how to make Chilean pino empanadas and pastel de choclo. Felipe has worked as a chef for years but has only been teaching cooking classes for two months. He wanted to do something less stressful than working in a restaurant, but he still wanted to cook, so he decided to teach tourists about home style Chilean cooking. His mom lets him use her kitchen, complete with well used pots and pans. There were five people in our group so it was like making dinner for a…”

Review of Farellones Park from Santiago, with ski classes, equipment, mountain views, family activities, transport, costs, and practical tips.

“Farellones park is ridiculously busy and the queues are around 2/3 hours long. The zip line we waited for 3 hours and then had to leave before we went on it as our ski lesson was booked at 2pm. Your ski lesson isn’t pre-booked so all the morning slots were booked up when we got there. The ski lesson and time on the slope was amazing. Also, private transfer in a comfortable car. I just wouldn’t return to this resort or if you are going to make sure it’s not on a Friday or a weekend. Our guide minded our clothes and shoes while we skied, we appreciated this as…”
