Great tour! - The property is beautiful and has a park - which was filled with autumn colors; a café and panaderia - we had tea and ate a raspberry and dulce de leche cake which was delicious; a museum- the Andean museum and a restaurant that I didn't visit. We took the premium tour led by Hector who shared his knowledge in a cheerful, kind and relaxed way. It went really well! We really like Chardonnay, Triple C and Pewen.

Best visit to the winery. - Excellent experience. Tour in Portuguese with a very friendly sommelier and guide called Hector. It gave us the best visiting experience. A special compliment to Hector for his friendliness and knowledge. After visiting the entire winery, we had a great wine and cheese tasting. I recommend the visit.

Amazing wine tour! So worth the travel - Our guide Victor was amazing! This truly felt like a premium wine tour. Much smaller than what we had at Concha Y Toro (only 5 of us vs 10+ at Concha). Interesting that the founders of these two oldest Chilean vineyards are cousins… We had freshly opened wine bottles for us for the tasting, and the cheese board was way more diverse and tasty. We were able to bring one glass and the board home as gifts. Victor gave us a bonus pour at the end. We tasted their premium wines such as Pewen (the premium carmere) and Bougainville, which is my favorite red blend. Since we stayed in the hotel for two nights, this Bougainville will Bring back memories of our extraordinary and luxurious stay at the Hotel Casa Real Santa Rita. This was such a good, pleasant wine tasting experience. We learned a lot from our guide, into the techniques, the vibes, the different varieties. Most importantly, it didn’t feel like a hassle at all compared to Concha Y Toro, which was so crowded it felt like a zoo.

a lovely afternoon at Santa Rita - We went with our family on the premium wine tour this afternoon, with the guide Pepe, and had a wonderful experience. Santa Rita is a beautiful colonial site, with wonderful and inspired gardens. We had a delightful guided tour of the grounds. The wine tasting was well organized -- great selection of four wines, and cheese, nuts and crackers to go with it. overall it was a wonderful afternoon

Surprisingly fantastic - We did the visit in Portuguese and had Cristian as a guide. The visit and the winery were really fantastic. We've already had the opportunity to visit different wineries, but Santa Rita was the best so far. The guide Cristian certainly helped a lot in having this unique experience. I recommend booking a table in advance at the Dona Paula restaurant, to end the day with a flourish. Wonderful food!

Recommended walk! - Excellent tour of a spectacular vineyard. The park is very nice, it has trees that are many years old, making the tour very interesting. Everything very well maintained. Rodrigo, the guide who showed us around and then did the wine tasting, was very friendly. We ended up tasting 4 really good wines. It's all worth it! Before the tour, we had lunch at the restaurant there. Good service, a little slow and the food was good. The place is 100% recommended!

We booked a Premium Tour but... - We booked the Premium Tour through Civitatis. When we checked in were only offered the cheaper Seleccion Tour. The Civitatis / MTO rep who had driven us there said he was unable to do anything about it. We showed them our receipt for the Premium tour but they said only the cheaper tour had been paid for, take it or leave it. With no options, we took the cheaper tour, didn't even see a vine or a grape! The winery said this often happens with bookings through Civitatis MTO. I sense a scam here!
