Drive south out of Santiago past La Florida, a new suburb, in the southern districts of Santiago. The excursion includes a visit to one of the two wineries described below. Cousiño Macul winery: Founded in 1856, at the foot of the Andes. The winery is one of the most traditional and still owned by the direct descendants of Matias Cousiño, after six generations. The main construction is one of the most beautiful and was designed by a French architect. Concha y Toro winery, founded in 1883, the country’s largest wine exporter. A complete guided tour of the facility begins in the vineyards, some of which were planted by founder (and noted winemaker) Spanish nobleman Don Melchor de Concha y Toro himself, covers every step of the wine-making process and includes a wine tasting. The excursion continues with a drive through Maipo Canyon, a great place to examine the Andes in all their stunning, eternally snow-capped glory. Return to Santiago.
