Fodor's Expert Review Ruta del Vino de Colchagua

Right on the main square, the Ruta del Vino office organizes tours and tastings at 21 of Colchagua's best-known wineries. Prices start at 12,000 pesos per person and rise up to almost 200,000, depending on the complexity of the tour. Some options include traditional meals or hikes amid the vines. The harvest season—March and April—kicks off with the Fiesta de la Vendimia (Grape Harvest Festival) and is always a great time to visit.

Though most wineries have their own guides, few speak English, and some wineries accept visits arranged only by Ruta del Vino.
