Full-Day Maipo Valley Wine Tour from Santiago with Sommelier Guide

My sister and I booked this tour to learn more about wine and the Miapo region. Mick did that and more. His personal connection with small vineyards and the people there made this an excellent tour with good wine and food. He has a ton of knowledge to share about wine and is an all around great guy to spend a day with. Highly recommend this tour.

What a way to start a trip to Chile, or indeed South America. From meeting first thing on a Friday morning through to the end of the day Mick was an absolute gem. Not only keen on the subject matter but well versed on the subtler details of the wine production process. This was definitely one of the highlights of my trip, and I'd highly recommend spending time with Mick enjoying the Chilean countryside and trying out the cracking local wine!

This wine tour is a must! Mick was a gracious, friendly and knowledgeable host. He carefully selected different sizes and types of vineyards with a variety of wines. The region is incredibly beautiful and produces some amazing wines. It was a fun day away from the city made super easy with Airbnb pickup and drop-off. Small, intimate group full of great conversation and lots of laughs enjoying good food and wine. Really no complaints. Don't hesitate - book this tour!

We had a fantastic tour with Mick who is not only an attentive guide, but he also kept us engaged with Q and A and *a lot* of information about the local wine industry. He was creative and insightful, not to mention entertaining! We'd do another tour with Mick to check out different vineyards.

We could not have been happier with Mick's tour. I live a half-hour from Napa and study wine, yet Mick taught me things I didn't know! The behind-the-scenes access and overall insight made this well worth the price. Would highly recommend for everyone from people new to wine to people who (try!) and study it!

Mick is wonderful, we can feel his passion in wine tasting throughout the trip, his explanation is clear and professional. Highly recommend!

A great day trip from Santiago with the very passionate and knowledgeable Mick as tour guide to enjoy some wonderful Chilean wines. A really enjoyable way of learning more and trying some Chilean wines.

I've done a lot of winery tours over the years but this was probably the best of the bunch. Mick, our guide, was very knowledgeable about wine and about the area we visited. Having a small group meant that we all had ample opportunities for questions, discussion and special requests. And the three wineries that Mick selected for the tour gave us a great overview of three very different types of wineries, from small family-operated to large multifaceted operations. Highly recommended.

Mick was a very knowledgeable and personable guide. We enjoyed the wineries he picked out, which included tours and tasting at Perez Cruz and Concha Y Tero and a tasting at Santa Rita all included in the fee. He also made a lunch reservation for us at Concha Y Tero. Lunch was not included in the fee but we had a wide variety of food to choose from as well as all the Conch Y Tero wines by the glass. We dined on the patio and very much enjoyed it. Perez Cruz, a boutique winery was our favorite and we purchased a bottle of their Limited Edition Carmenere. At all the wineries there was no push from them or Mick to purchase. We appreciated that Mick also brought along his wine tasting guide, waters and snacks. Mick picked us up at 10am and had us back a little before 6pm, so it is a full day.

Excellent tour! Guide was very knowledgeable and professional.

This was an exceptional tour. Mick Jackson our guide was friendly and knowledgeable.He took us to four wineries each offering something unusual and interesting from organic farming with chickens and llamas to a-beautiful lakeside picnic area where we snacked on cheeses with regional wines. Lunch was at a spectacular villa with extraordinary views. We even got to keep the lakeside wine. This was a very special day and well worth the cost. Highly recommend.
