What to do in The Wine Valleys

Just south of Santiago, Chile's pretty, sun-kissed Wine Valleys begin, with vineyards of every size and shape, from the high-tech to the traditional - and a handful of fabulous lodges too. Taste your way through them all, enjoying the crisp whites of Casablanca before heading to Maipo, where Chile's signature grape is grown. Along the way, partake in expert wine tastings, learn about the entire process from vine to vino, and enjoy walks, horseback rides and cycles amid the vines.
