Alyan Family Wines Sunset Tours

For an evening wine outing from Santiago in English, book the Alyan Family Wines Sunset Tour with Dinner and Hotel Transfers. It starts from $143 per person (October 2026) and holds 4.7 from 80 GetYourGuide reviews. Pickup is mid-afternoon, you taste six Alyan wines with snacks around sunset, stay for an informal dinner at the winery and are back at your hotel at about 22:30. It is the only Alyan listing on this site with English among its guide languages. The other two are guided in Spanish and Portuguese.

A note on sources. Alyan Family Wines has no official website we could reach or verify, so everything on this page about the winery and the evening comes from the tour listings themselves and their guest reviews. Where a listing describes something, we say so.

What the listings say about Alyan

The listings describe Alyan as a boutique winery, and the English-language one calls it family-run and places it in Pirque, a 50 to 60 minute drive south of Santiago. Pirque is one of the areas that Chile’s 1994 wine-zoning decree places within the Maipo Valley, and Chile.travel lists it among the Maipo’s wine-growing areas, the same district as Concha y Toro’s visitor centre.

The operator of the English-language tour pitches it as a counterpoint to the big historic houses most visitors book. Its pitch is that smaller family wineries are where new ideas in Chilean wine come from. The Spanish-language listing mentions a varietal garden, the vineyard, the cellar, fermentation tanks and a barrel room on its tour, and calls the wines poured its Family Ambassador line.

The English-language sunset tour

The Alyan sunset tour with dinner is run by Chile Tours. The van collects you from your hotel between about 15:00 and 15:30, and the itinerary names Providencia as the pickup area, so check your hotel’s location when you book. About four hours are spent at the winery: a guided tour, time around the estate, and a tasting timed for the sunset with snacks alongside. The listing counts six different Alyan wines over the evening.

Dinner is included. It is an informal meal at the winery, and the operator says it is shared with members of the Alyan family. The listing does not describe the menu. Souvenirs and wine you buy are extra.

Several reviewers name the same driver-guide and describe generous pours, comfortable transport and an unhurried pace. One reviewer whose day had no visible sunset still rated the evening highly, which matters, because the sunset depends on the weather. The listing asks you to bring warm clothing, a jacket and a charged phone, and Chile.travel also recommends an evening windbreaker for wine-valley trips.

The tour is not suitable for anyone under 18 or for people with mobility impairments. You can cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund.

The Spanish and Portuguese alternatives

Two more listings sell an Alyan sunset evening, and both are guided in Spanish and Portuguese only.

The Alyan Winery Sunset Tour with Wine Tastings and Dinner on GetYourGuide starts from $130 per person, with 4.8 from 81 GetYourGuide reviews, and lasts about 6 hours. Pickup covers Providencia, Las Condes, central Santiago and Ñuñoa. The description promises a slow-paced tour of the facilities, three to four tastings each in a different spot, a box of cheeses, hams and nuts, and an informal dinner. Its inclusions list adds that tastings and dinner apply if the option you book includes them, so check what your option covers before paying.

The Alyan Sunset Tour with Six Wines, Snacks and Dinner on Viator starts from $140 per person, with 4.4 from 54 Viator reviews, and runs 6 to 7 hours. It includes pickup in an air-conditioned vehicle, entrance, six wines with an individual snack plate, and a Chilean dinner with a homemade dessert. Read the small print: the listing says English tours run only on certain days at Alyan, that in peak season the evening can be shared with large groups from other agencies, and that refunds need 48 hours’ notice, while its booking terms on Viator are marked as a final sale, so check the cancellation terms before paying. In bad weather it may offer another date or a full refund.

Which Alyan listing to book

• Book the English-language sunset tour if you want guiding in English, six wines and dinner all included in one price, and 24-hour cancellation.
• Book the GetYourGuide Spanish and Portuguese tour if you speak either language, want the lowest Alyan price and are staying in one of its four pickup areas. Confirm your option includes the tastings and dinner.
• Book the Viator Spanish and Portuguese tour if you book through Viator and want a dessert listed with dinner, and you are fine with a possibly larger group.

Sunset evening or a daytime Maipo tour?

An Alyan evening gives you one winery in depth, at the end of the day, with dinner included. It suits a traveller who has a free afternoon, has already seen a big estate, or wants a relaxed final night in Santiago. Two drives of about an hour each frame a long sit-down evening.

A daytime tour suits you better if you want to compare wineries. The Maipo Valley Wine Tour: 4 Wineries, Pisco Tasting and Optional Lunch visits four wineries in about 10 hours, from $119 per person, with 4.9 from 2,725 Viator reviews, though lunch is included only on one option. See our 4 winery tours page. For a private day, the Private Maipo Valley Tour: Aquitania, Santa Rita and Chilean Lunch starts from $290 per person, with 5.0 from 14 Viator reviews, and includes lunch; our private wine tours page covers more. Within Santiago itself, Cousiño Macul also runs its own Sunset tour on spring and summer afternoons; see our Cousiño Macul page.

Dinner comes with wine, so no one in your party should plan to drive afterwards. Chile’s Zero Tolerance Law treats 0.3 g/L of blood alcohol as under the influence, and all three Alyan listings include transfers.
