We scheduled the tour and tasting on my birthday; they surprised me halfway through the tasting with a special dessert (with a little birthday card) and even sang "Happy Birthday" in English and Spanish! It was such a sweet personal touch and made the experience very memorable. We even ended up taking 3 bottles home with us!

This was my favorite stop on our winery tour of the Casablanca Valley (we went to three). Its a…read morebeautiful place even without any grapes on the vines. We had a nice tour of their facility and learned a lot about the wine making process, followed by a nice lunch with wine parings. They do a lot of cool things at this particular winery, unique blends and experimentation with infused liquors, and even balsamic vinegar. It was very interesting to see the process and so hard to imagine having something age for 20+ years! There is a lot of risk in aging something so long, so much possibility for failure. We enjoyed our lunch and pairing in the barrel room. It was chilly, but they provided blankets (and lets be honest, you are drinking and that keeps you warmer) and the ambiance certainly added to the experience. I was not expecting super delicious food becuase it is not their focus, but I was pleasantly surprised that the courses were all delicious. Clearly they are good at what they do, the food paired perfeclty with each wine. The end of the meal was paired with one of their liquors and while I could not drink it straight (too strong for me), it was excellent poured over the desert, as suggested. If you have the chance to visit, I highly recommend doing the lunch pairing, not just a tasting. I would absolutely come back here if I found myself in the Casablance Valley again. Make sure to take some time to look through their shop before you leave. They have some cute things, along with their wines and liquors.

After spending the day at Lapostolle, we wanted to squeeze in a second winery and decided to try our luck and just show up at Viu Manent. It was just past 4:30 pm and we asked if we could do a tasting and were told that there were no more tastings at that hour, but to hold on a second and they would double check. We perused the gift shop for a few minutes before they invited us to the back bar for a private tasting session. I really appreciated them accommodating us and not being such sticklers about our lack of reservation like some places in Napa can be. Being just the two of us, it was a very personal tasting, and the wines and their history were explained to us very fully. I just regret that I did not love any of them. When asked to choose my favorite and describe it in one word, I had a difficult time as I did not have a clear favorite. It may just be personal preference as I know that their wine is very popular. The grounds are lovely and they offer cool things like horse drawn carriage tours and wine pairing lunches for those that have more time. Four stars for the great service and lovely property.

Emiliana Organic Vineyard is a gorgeous spot and well worth visiting…read more This was my first visit to a winery, so I can't compare it to any others, but I think I picked an awesome first one to visit! While I didn't go on the wine tasting tour (not with children in tow), my family and I visited the wineshop and peruse the vineyard independently. We had to check in at a guard gate to enter, and wind our way through tons of grapevine fields. Another station guarded the parking lot. After this, we were able to wander as we pleased without supervision or anyone telling us what we should be doing. The property is gorgeous with tons of plants and greenery, a nice breeze and the mountains in view all around us; this made for altogether a quiet and peaceful experience. The openness allowed my children to happily run wild, alongside the chickens and pheasants grazing on the lawns around the wine shop. We watched the Alpacas in their stone-walled keep and even went inside the (also stone-walled) organic garden bursting with vegetables, herbs and fruit trees. The wine shop building itself is stunning in the beauty of its design, both inside and out. Inside on the first floor, wines and other goods are for sale, including a tiny Patagonia-brand clothing/gear section! The windows are surrounded by a ton of tall, striking flowers, and we were able to watch Large Chilean Hummingbirds close-up and in action feasting on these flowers. We purchased our wine and peered at the view from upstairs before heading out to the massive back porch and patio area of tables and chairs. I drank a coffee out here; unfortunately, the separate cafe/restaurant had already closed (we arrived in the mid-late afternoon). On the way back to the parking lot, we took pictures and my children even climbed some trees. Thanks for a great visit, Emiliana!

Seasoned with saffron and cream sauce it was absolutely delectable. I mean the flavors were just perfect and many and just amazing. It was orgasmic. The service was slow and comfortable. I like that they don't bother you while you eat and enjoy. They allow you the time to slow down and just enjoy your time.

The staff explained the wines in both Spanish and English and it was very interesting to learn about their wine making.

I saw their wines sold at Santiago airport duty free stores, too! (But prices were marked up 2-3x more)

Once parked, it's a very short walk to their main building where you can try their different wines and also buy organic honey which is pretty cheap compared to US prices. On the way to the building be sure to see alpacas and other animals that roam the grounds. They're known for having all organic wines. We dropped in right in time for their 3pm tasting with Vivi. The first we tried was a souvingnon blanc. It was light and fruity. It was followed by a more intense white blend that was a combination of grapes, but resulted in a more floral aroma. Next was a Carmenere, which is considered the grape of Chile. 97% of Carmenere grapes are from Chile. The flavor was quite peppery. The last one was the signature wine of Emiliana, called Coyam. It's their signature because it was their first organic blend. It's created with 6 grapes, giving it a very complex taste. This one is aged in oak unlike the others. Vivi was very knowledgeable and was very good at explaining how some things were unique to Chile. 95% of their wines are exported and I will definitely be looking for them next time I go to the liquor store. Would highly recommend checking out this winery.
