The Best Boutique Wineries In Chile

Just a short jaunt from Chile’s capital, Santiago, you can find yourself amongst the vines of some of the world’s greatest wineries. Many of these vineyards also offer boutique hotels where you can stay if an afternoon of wine tasting isn’t quite long enough!

1. Santa Rita Vineyard

Winery

This fabulous vineyard is found in Buin, surrounded by hills and greenery just 45 minutes from Santiago. It is a perfect escape from the busy capital city where you can take a tour through the vines and the vineyard seeing how the wine is made and processed, then taste the real deal. The Estate played its part in the run up to Chilean independence, as General Bernardo O’Higgins took refuge there with his forces. You can dine in the Restaurant Doña Paula or stay the night in the chic Casa Real Hotel, which has only 16 rooms.

2. Casa Silva

Boutique Hotel, Bed and Breakfast

In the heart of the Colchagua Valley is this historic bodega that also boasts a stylish boutique hotel, tantalizing restaurant as well as horses that can be ridden. Try your hand on the polo fields then sit back and enjoy the evening sun tasting the Sauvignon Blanc and Carmenère before dining in the polo Club House, where the best, and locally sourced meat and fish are cooked and paired with the wines of Casa Silva.
