Itinerary
South from Santiago, one cellar
A day
Leave Santiago in the morning. One booked tasting in Lolol. Back the same night, or stay in the valley.
Late morning
Viña Santa Cruz
Ask for the Chamán Carménère. Then a glass of the País if they open it.
After
Lolol
The town is small. One glass was enough. Do not add a second estate the same afternoon.
The drive from Santiago is about two hours. Book before you leave. This is not a walk-in Saturday.
