An enjoyable half-day excursion from Santiago is to visit the Viña Concha y Toro vineyard. Your guided tour begins by passing beneath this trellis in a magnificent garden. Next you will see the founder’s 19th century summer residence, learn about the different varieties of grapes, walk along the scenic original vineyard and explore the legendary cellar. Your final reward is the wine tasting. Superb! It is a terrific experience regardless if you are a sommelier or a vino neophyte.
