Itinerary
The Plaza de Armas of Santiago is considered the heart of the capital of Chile, marking the milestone known as Kilómetro Cero, from which the distance between the different cities of the country begins to be measured. In its surroundings, emblematic buildings converge, symbol of the city's origin and witnesses of its development over four centuries. Visitors can find on the Square painters who day by day display their art; historical photographers who use old drawer machines; or street comedians who attract the attention of passers-by.
One of the squares that frames the environment of the Palacio de La Moneda, becoming an icon of civility and a center of civic life. It´s located on the grounds of the old headquarters of the Ministry of War and acquired its current design in 1984, when it was remodeled. The statues of the Presidents of the Republic, Jorge Alessandri Rodríguez, Eduardo Frei Montalva and Salvador Allende Gossens, are placed there as prominent protagonists of the history of Chile.
It is the seat of the Executive Power and one of the most representative symbols of the political history of the country. Designed by the architect Joaquín Toesca, this palace is the main work of neoclassicism in Chile. It became the scene of one of the most decisive events in the history of Chile, as was the bombing that it suffered in 1973. After that fact, a group of architects restored it, keeping the original lines designed by Toesca. It was declared a National Monument in 1951.
Cerro Santa Lucia is one of the most visited public parks by national and foreign tourists, being one of the most recognizable icons of the capital and the country. It is a silent witness of the development that the city of Santiago has had since the arrival of the Spanish conquerors in the Mapocho Valley in 1540.
You will take a guided tour through a variety garden, vineyards, winemaking process and aging, bottling process visiting the "Bodega 1", the winery's first winery, and the "Bodega de los 120 Patriotas", where you will discover the exciting story that gives the winery its name. The tour ends with a tasting of two Reserva wines and a Gran Reserva taking a carved glass as a gift.

Traveler reviews
Santiago city tour and winery visit is a must do!
Full day of sightseeing with small amount of walking. We had one participant with limited walking ability and our guide worked around this with ease and we didnt miss a thing. Ending the trip with the Santa Rita winery lunch and tour was spectacular. Our guide, Andres, was phenomenal and full of historical knowledge about Santiago and the surrounding areas. He was funny, polite and a pleasure to spend the day with.
This was a wonderful experience...
