Experience the real essence of the Chilean countryside, the innovative new vineyards in the Casablanca Valley. First stop, Attilio & Mochi Vineyard, a small boutique winery where you will enjoy a personalized tour by the vineyard’s owners followed by a tasting of their premium wines. The second vineyard, Matetic, is beautifully located in the Rosario Valley, between native and exotic forests, with sheep and alpacas grazing on the hillsides. Matetic has become an innovative addition to Chilean winemakers since 1999, by introducing organic and biodynamic methods to their process. After the wine tasting, continue the journey to Pomaire, famed for its interesting clay pottery and other handicrafts. Here you can browse small shops bursting with artisan treasures, observe local artists, find the best buys for souvenirs, including ponchos, sombreros, and beautiful handmade lapiz lazuli jewelry. You can also try some delicious traditional Chilean food. Pomaire is also known for being the home of the largest empanadas in Chile. This is a wonderful, relaxing day out of the city.
