Highly recommended - skip the organized wine tours which take you around the Maipo valley. Instead, just take a cab to Vina Cousino Macul (cost us USD8 each way from providencia) and join one of their tours. Valentina was very engaged, helpful and knowledgeable. We have done wine tours in margaret river before, but this one beat them hands down in terms of the variety of wines tasted, details on tasting notes, guidance on food pairings etc.

A really wonderful morning which we highly recommended. Cousino Macul is an easy Uber journey from the centre of Santiago and a very beautiful place to visit with wonderful views of the mountains and the city. Our guide Tiago was excellent and it was fascinating to hear the story of this historic vineyard. Great too to taste the wines and identify how the taste changes when eaten with different foods. Everything was done to the highest standard

Well organised! As a start of knowing Chile wine as it is one of the oldest winery in Chile. Nice to hear the story of the winery. Not difficult to go by public transport. Our guide Valentina is kind, helpful, and professional.

Lovely winery and delicious wines - had it as part of our tour of Santiago. The tour guide spoke wonderful English and was very thorough. The grounds were beautiful and we enjoyed sampling all their wines. We have been to many wineries in the US, Argentina and France and this is up there with them.

Our visit to Cousiño Macul was beyond excellent. We had originally opted for the traditional tour but changed to the premium once there, and were very glad we did (see below). The traditional tour was with a wonderful guide (Janice) who knew everything about the winery and its long history and was happy to spend quite a bit of extra time talking about Chilean food and traditions. We were lucky to be in a small group (3) so there was plenty of time to talk! Once the traditional tour was over, my wife and I were in for the great treat of tasting 3 of Cousiño Macul's premium wines: two from their "Finis Terrae" line (the first was an incredible white wine made from a blend of Chardonnay, Riesling and Viogner, the other a striking red blend), the third bottle was from their a collection simply called "W" an amazing Cabernet Sauvignon. What made this part of the tour so rewarding was our "guide" through the tasting, Frederico (I'm sorry of I got the name wrong, it might have been Federico). Frederico knew everything there was to know about the wines, the grapes, labor and love that had gone into making them. he helped us puzzle our way through the rich tastes of these wines intelligently and with a subtle sense of humor and pride in Chile's wines that left a deep impression on us. As a trained sommelier and aspiring oenologist, we could not have asked for a better guide. Thank you to Janice, Frederico and Cousiño Macul for one of the most memorable experiences during our one-month stay in Santiago. On the practical side, if you are visiting in February go for the early tour (10am) before the afternoon heat sets in!

Great wine tour at one of the oldest vineyards in Chile and the only one still within the Santiago city limits. The English speaking tour guide Janice was really incredible at teaching the history of the family and the winery and teaching about tasting notes in the premium tasting experience. If you like wine definitely do the premium tour instead of the regular tour, you get three extra wines that are higher tier and snacks to pair along with them. Janice helped us see what tasting notes we could find in each wine and how wines changed depending on what food you paired them with. The first three wines on the tour were okay, but the last three in the premium experience were great and not ones you can find in the supermarket in Santiago. Definitely a good tour for a “classic” Chilean vineyard

This was an AMAZING tour!! The best wine tour we have been on. The new information was quite interesting and Janice was an amazing guide. I highly recommend!

Awesome winery tour in Santiago. We were able to uber to the winery from our hotel without a problem (40min away). We selected Spanish while booking, but at the time of tour were able to join a English group which worked out great as that is our native language. Neat history and awesome winery to check out if visiting Santiago!

Our guide Isabella was excelent, she was very simpatic and showed us all about wine production. We tested four diferent kinds of wine, we visited grapevine by cycle.

Our guide, Valentina, was very friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about the vineyard and it's history which highly enriched our experience. Very good communication in English. She was also always able to answer extra questions during the tour. We got to taste 5 different wines during the tour plus four more during the degustation part which Valentina also guided very well. All in all I high recommend and trust it is worth the investment.

This was an interesting tour where I was able to sample various wines. As part of the premium package there was the opportunity contrast and compare two younger and older vintages (one red and one white), and also how they were complemented by various foods. I really enjoyed the tour and the sampling. All the staff/guides were professional, knowledgeable, friendly and spoke English. If back in Chile would probably re-visit.

This was a wonderful tour and great experience! I accidentally booked the Spanish tour but it was not an issue. I was easily put in the English group. Francisco was a great guide and very charming. We tasted some amazing wines! I recommend getting the premium package. We tasted @7-8 wines! We arrived/left via Uber. Definitely worth the price!

I have loved the explanations about Cousino Macul and Isidora, the widow of The founder Who has, in fact, made what Coucino Macul is nowadays. I congratulate The guide Valentina for the passion she demonstrates on each explanation. Me and my family had a great time!

Amazing winery tour! You will learn the interesting history of the vineyard, tour the grounds, including the magical wine cellars underground, and sample so many of the incredible wines. It ends with a wine pairings tasting. The winery is easily accessible by public transportation. A beautiful experience while in Santiago!

My Spanish is just “okay” but I really enjoyed this wine tour with my friend. The wine was delicious, the tour was informative and our tour guide, Francisca, did a great job explaining the history of the winery and the wines themselves. I recommend this tour :)

We absolutely loved the tour and our guide was simply amazing 🤩 it was a beautiful day, the Premium package is definitely the way to go, the wines are very reasonable and like I said our guide was amazing he made the tour so enjoyable

Great experience! We arrived late to the tour and Elisa the responsible for the vinery coordination, took us to a kids tour ! This is a real customer experience ! It was Taylor made for our kids ! Great vine and amazing staff !

Vino cousiño macul wine tour was one of the best tours we have ever done. Valentina,who spoke very good English, was very helpful and precise in explaining everything about the winery. It is comforting to have a guide who is knowledgeable about the winery. Also, the wine was excellent. Thank you to Janice who helped us with our reservation. Finally, thank you to the two guards at the gate who gave us water after our one hour walk to the winery. If you are in Santiago, it is a must. It is a first class operation! Take the premium tour, it's worth every penny.

The staff were very accomodating for our bike tour of the winery. We booked the Spanish tour even though we speak terrible Spanish, the staff recognised that (because we sound like a 4 year old in Espanol maybe even worse) and organised a private English tour for us… absolutely amazed. Great history to appreciate here and excellent wines to sample. Thoroughly recommend as you don’t need to leave Santiago to attend!

Vina Cousino Macul is a beautiful facility with lots of history and a few hidden surprises. This tour ended up being the highlight of my trip. The wine is excellent and my tour guide, Valentina, was very knowledgeable and provided great context for everything I was seeing and tasting. Strongly recommend.
