About this tour

Quintay & Casas del Bosque: Wine and Sea in One Day

This tour combines two enchanting worlds of Chile: the award-winning vineyards of Casablanca Valley and the charming Caleta de Quintay, a fishermen's village on the Pacific coast. In a single day you experience the complete world of wine tourism and coastal nature, with a Portuguese-speaking guide from start to finish.

Casas del Bosque: One of Chile's Best Wineries

Casas del Bosque Winery is located in the Casablanca Valley, internationally recognized for its high-quality white wines and sparkling wines. Consistently ranked among Chile's best wineries, it offers an impeccable visitor experience. You can choose a bike tour through the vineyards — cycling among the vines with Casablanca's fresh breeze is a unique experience — or opt for a guided tasting of award-winning wines with food pairing. Both options reveal the passion and care that make this winery a national reference.

Caleta de Quintay: A Hidden Gem on the Chilean Coast

After the winery, we head to Quintay, a small and picturesque fishing village that preserves the history of Chile's old whaling industry. The village maintains its artisanal identity, with colorful boats, spread fishing nets, and restaurants serving the freshest seafood. Walking along the pier, watching the fishermen, and tasting grilled fish right there with a view of the Pacific is one of the most authentic experiences in the Valparaíso region.

Small Group and Portuguese-Speaking Guide

With groups of maximum 8 people, the tour offers a personalized and intimate experience. Our Brazilian guide speaks fluent Portuguese and has deep knowledge of the region's wine history, making every explanation richer and more accessible. Escapada Tours Chile has operated in Chile since 2015, with over 26 years of experience in tourism, ensuring professional standards in every detail.

Comfortable transportation includes transfers from Santiago or Viña del Mar/Valparaíso. The combination of wine, nature, and coastal gastronomy makes this one of the most complete and memorable tours in central Chile.
