Day 1 (D)
Upon your arrival in Santiago de Chile, you'll be transported to the Santiago Marriott to settle in and rest for the exciting days ahead. Once you are settled in, we have arranged for an introduction to Chilean wines by the sommelier team at Bocanáriz. They will guide you through some of the different grape varieties, the different wine regions in Chile, and teach you about paring wines with food. Once the workshop is concluded, you will stay and enjoy a 3-course dinner where the wine takes center stage.
Day 2 (B, L, D)
Your day begins with a ride to Concha y Toro vineyard where you will discover the origins of the Casillero del Diablo legend, taste different grape varieties right from the vine, enjoy a 7-wine tasting, and have lunch at the 1883 restaurant. We will then return to Santiago for a quick rest before heading out to culinary highlight at Boragó, Chile's top restaurant (ranked #9 in Latin America), where you'll savor 12-18 course tasting menu featuring hyper seasonal dishes, complemented by water sourced from Patagonia rain.
Day 3 (L, D)
Today will include three unique vineyards in the Maipo Valley, known for its Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, and Merlot. You'll start with an extensive wine tasting at a modern winery, followed by another tasting and a 3-course meal with wine pairing at a charming family-run winery. Finally, you'll visit a third winery of your choice, based on your preferences. After a
day of exploration, we'll enjoy dinner at Yum Cha, where you will explore in depth tea's complex flavor-profiles and food-pairing capabilities throughout a 10-course menu where dishes are created to pair with specific teas rather than the more common reverse.
Day 4 (B)
We’ll have a leisurely start before heading to the airport for a 5-hour flight to Easter Island. Upon arrival, transfer to the Hare Uta hotel for a restful day with no planned activities.
