Tradition Meets Innovation: Touring Concha y Toro and Alyan Family Wines in Maipo Valley

When you think of Chilean wine, two experiences stand out in the Maipo Valley—one steeped in history and legend, the other marked by creativity and modern flair. Whether you prefer the storied grandeur of Viña Concha y Toro in Pirque or the innovative, boutique charm of Alyan Family Wines, both offer unforgettable tours for visitors eager to explore Chile’s wine scene.

The Tradition of Concha y Toro

Concha y Toro is synonymous with the heritage of Chilean wine. Founded in 1883 and set amid the picturesque landscapes of Pirque, this iconic vineyard invites visitors to:

• Walk through the historic Casona, a colonial mansion surrounded by some of the region’s oldest vines.

• Discover beautiful 19th-century architecture and a park designed by famed French landscaper Guillermo Renner.

• Enjoy guided tours packed with anecdotes, history, and the famed Casillero del Diablo legend.

• Taste premium wines (three or four tastings per tour) and receive a souvenir glass.

• Stroll vast gardens and soak up views of the Andes, all just an hour from downtown Santiago.

Concha y Toro provides an immersive look into the roots of Chilean winemaking, perfect for those who appreciate tradition, grand estates, and legendary stories.
