Private Horseback Ride, Country Grill and Organic Winery Tasting


About This Experience
The day starts with a country breakfast at a local horse breeder's place while the horses are saddled and bridled. If you want to, you can help get your own horse ready.
The ride follows the Maipo River, runs between vineyards and climbs into the hills for views over the valley, with stops along the way at clear mountain streams. It ends with a Chilean country grill and wine served next to an open fire.
After lunch the group drives to Miraflores, an organic winery the listing describes as historic. A guide covers its past, some Chilean traditions and how the estate works today. You walk among the vines, past the old estate house and into the cellar, where early winemaking machines are on display, and the visit closes with a tasting of the Cabernet Sauvignon.
This is a private tour for your own party, with pickup and drop-off at Santiago hotels, the Arturo Merino Benítez international airport or the central train and bus station. Guiding is available in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese. The price is set per person, and the minimum age is 14.

What Travelers Say
Rated 4.9/5 by 53 verified GetYourGuide travelers.
We had the best day ever with Christian and Felipe. The horseback ride was amazing ( especially the BBQ at the top of the mountain) and the wine tour had great wines. Christian and Felipe both are excellent in English and go out of their way to make sure you have a great day. Every thing is very well organized ( from the moment of booking) and highly recommended.
