Excellent half day trip from Santiago! - Victor gave us an excellent 1hr tour of the vineyard followed by a 4-wine tasting and cheese. His English was great and he was very happy to answer all of our questions. The tour was private just for the two of us so felt very special. The old house the vineyard is built around is beautiful with lovely gardens. We had a delicious lunch on the terrace. And of course the wine was delicious! Very glad we were able to add this tour to our time in Santiago - many thanks Victor!

Excellent winery tour and tasting. - We took the regular tour at Vina Santa Rita and it was excellent. Our guide Josefa (apologies if I'm misspelling) was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. Her English was excellent. The tour included part of the vineyards, the history of the winery, and the production facilities, then a fun and informative tasting. We live in a wine region in California and I have to say Josefa's tour was better than any we've done here in recent years.

Getting to know wines in the new world - I went to see the vineyard with my French family and it really was a very entertaining tour. Karina, the guide, did her best to provide information about the process and place. The vineyard is very well cared for visually, with spacious places and good facilities. Also, a very nice museum and a store selling high quality products. Thank you very much for the experience and special moment.

A special place - The entire environment, the history, the wines, the restaurant give you a truly interesting and knowledgeable day. I cannot pass up the opportunity to comment on the exquisite wines we tasted, the variety of wines that you can take home, but the most important thing is all the history that comes hand in hand with such good Mostos. More recommended than a Concha y toro, the service is great. Highly recommended Congratulations!!!!

Excellent visit to the winery - We were accompanied by the guide Josefa and the Tour was extremely rich in information about the Winery and wine in general. The wine tasting was the highlight, not just for the wines, but for the explanations, which were much more interesting than those obtained during a visit to another famous winery.

NICE EXPERIENCE, but more information about production is missing. - The place is beautiful and the tour is well explained, the wine tasting is a great plan. The only thing that could be improved is that if you go to a vineyard you would expect them to walk you through it and have them explain everything from the cultivation of the seeds to the wine, since that is left without flavor, because the tour is more about getting to know the estate. Otherwise recommended.

Booked a Premium tour BUT... - Booked the Premium tour with Civitatis. Driven to winery by the Civitatis / MTO rep who only paid for Seleccion tickets. We showed our receipts for the Premium tour but neither the rep nor the winery would give us the tour we had purchased! After lots of arguing they told us to "take it or leave it". We took the Seleccion tour. Didn't even see a grape growing!
