Chile's wine valleys are nestled between the Andes and Coastal Mountain Range, straddled by rivers that create fertile soils for cultivating cabernet sauvignon, carménère, syrah, pinot noir, sauvignon blanc and chardonnay and other varieties of grapes.

The best places to discover Chile's winemaking heritage and New World prowess are in the Colchagua, Casablanca, and Maipo valleys, where in addition to sampling some of Chile's best wines, you can discover boutique hotels, blaze a trail on horseback and cycle some beautiful paths.
