A great way to go sightseeing in the Andes near Santiago - A great way to go sightseeing in the Andes near Santiago. The wine from In Situ winery tasted delicious. We also got a chance to see llamas, eat at a delicious local restaurant, and see the Aconcagua mountain from the distance. Alvaro was a great guide and spoke Spanish, English and Portuguese.

Tour with wine tasting and visit to the mountains - Really good Guide who knows good English. Alvaro could even answer any questions we had. Nice drive with interesting guidance along the way. Nice reception and interesting tour of the vineyard. The wine tasting had really good wines with fantastic views of the vineyards towards the Andes.
At the shitty variety it was great, but the food in the lunch service was beneath contempt. It would have been good to know that there is also a pub with à la carte menu.
Great luck in every way

Amazing experience - In a single day and tour I could have the experience of tasting wines within the own vineyard, taking pictures with lhama and ending the day with the beautiful view of the Inca lagoon. The Guide Álvaro made everything perfect, always very attentive and willing to help so that we had the best experience possible.

Definitely would recommend- friendly knowledgeable guide and safe driver - Definitely would recommend this tour. Our guide Antonio was very knowledgeable and friendly, answering any questions. A great historian. We felt safe with our driver, especially on the "snail road", which can be scary with its 30 sharp curves and all the trucks we cross. Safety is their priority.
Many stops along the way to take in the views (and use the bathroom) with enough time to get some pictures . Expect to pay for bathrooms unless you buy something at the restaurants. About 1,000 pesos.
At Portillo hotel, there's a restaurant. There's also a food truck with good inexpensive food.
The winery is small and it was very casual. Nothing fancy. It's a bit of a sales pitch, however the wine was good and very inexpensive.
I could go on and on...
We only missed the llamas...

Compensator - Amazing landscapes; wonderful places with spectacular lagoon views. The lunch left a little to be desired and the return was slower than expected but was worth the visit and the Guide Alvaro; very inspired.
