2 Best Sights in The Central Valley, Chile

The local Ruta del Vino office provides basic information and a variety of tours that range from simple half-day visits to a single winery to combination packages that include hiking, biking, and rafting. It is a useful place to visit as Curicó Valley vineyards are not as focused on tourism as other regions. English-speaking guides are available.

Right on the main square, the Ruta del Vino office organizes tours and tastings at 21 of Colchagua's best-known wineries. Prices start at 12,000 pesos per person and rise up to almost 200,000, depending on the complexity of the tour. Some options include traditional meals or hikes amid the vines. The harvest season—March and April—kicks off with the Fiesta de la Vendimia (Grape Harvest Festival) and is always a great time to visit.

Though most wineries have their own guides, few speak English, and some wineries accept visits arranged only by Ruta del Vino.
