Just a few kilometers from Valparaíso and about 1 hour from Santiago, on Route 68, is the Casablanca Valley, an ideal destination to visit some of the most outstanding wineries, such as Casas del Bosque, Emiliana, Kingston, Matetic, Veramonte and William Cole.
Many of the wineries specifically cater to lovers of wine tourism. In addition to the wine tours with tastings, the offer also includes various activities such as horseback riding through the vineyards, horse-drawn carriage rides or an excellent lunch with matching wines in one of the restaurants. You can also climb the hills of Casablanca on hiking trails.
The fertile Casablanca Valley, located between the coastal mountains and the Pacific Ocean in the valleys of central Chile and internationally renowned for its immense wine production, is characterized by the production of refined white wines and its Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc varieties.
This cold-climate wine-growing region of Chile is known for the maritime influence of the Pacific Ocean, which cools the climate, and the morning fog that settles in the valley – some of the factors that make this valley one of the most important white wine producers in Chile.
