Privé-ervaring met Colchagua VIK en Montes-wijnhuizen

Overall great experience if you want to escape the city and see the wineries. The drives were long but worth it and the pictures don’t do it justice. Great wine and great food. Our guides were very knowledgeable too!

Fantastic experience with wine tasting icons from VIK in one of the most beautiful places in Chile! The experience at Montes was exceptional, as we had lunch at Fuegos de Apalta and subsequently we did the guided tour and tasting, which was very well conducted by collaborator Romy! A day to stay in memory.

Rodrigo, our driver, met us at the collection point exactly on time and he kept us thoroughly entertained all the way to our destination at Montes. His military experience made us feel safe and his wine and geographical knowledge prepared us well for day ahead. Being a member of a wine appreciation club, I'd heard stories about the famous Purple Angel 2021 carmenere, which has an exceptional rating of 99 points and it didn't disappoint. Our tastings consisted of 5 very generous glasses of a Montes selection- all very different to each other and all of great quality. Lunch at the Montes restaurant followed and we both were delighted at the high quality of our main courses- rib eye and sea bass, not to mention good value value as well. A visit to Vina Vik followed with another 5 glasses of delicious wine in a very well furnished wine tasting room within a remarkable architectural setting. In summary, a great experience with a very well organised driver who kept us entertained for the entire day.

We arrived in Santiago in early February 2026. We wanted an outstanding Chilean Wine experience. We chose Eco Tours (Cristian) to show us Vina Vik and Vina Montes - premium wine tastings and vineyard tours - together with a long lunch at Fuegos de Apalta (Mallmann). The right choice. Our driver was knowledgeable, careful, and engaging. These two are sensational vineyards. The wine is outstanding. (The La Piu Belle blend & the Purple Angel blend are just 2 to mention. Love the Carmenere grape.) Vineyard staff were very engaging and passionate. Lunch was excellent. Beautiful restaurant with an indoor grill and panoramic views across the vines. The four of us had a fantastic day. This was an excellent private tour.

Our private tour to Montes and Viña VIK was absolute perfection from start to finish. Our guide and driver, Leo, was the ultimate professional—knowledgeable, attentive, and made the logistics of the day effortless. At Montes, our tour with Eric was deeply insightful, providing a great look into their iconic winemaking process. We also visited the breathtaking Viña VIK, where Catalina and Consuelo guided us through an unforgettable tasting in a truly stunning setting. A major highlight of the day was lunch at Fuegos de Apalta. Watching the chefs work over the open fire was a spectacle in itself. We had the Sea Bass and the Ribeye Steak, both cooked to perfection over the flames—the smoky flavors were incredible and paired beautifully with the local wines. This tour is a must for anyone visiting the region. Thank you to Leo and the entire team for a five-star experience!

Cristian was able to organize our 2-day private winery tour on short notice. We were very satisfied with the transportation, the wine tastings and the overall service. Highly recommend!

Leo is a perfect combo of trip engagement, safety, and professionalism. We had a fantastic time and would definitely use his services again!

Wine Tour guide/driver was informative, engaging, and professional. Wineries were absolutely fantastic!! Montes restaurant is a must experience.

We booked the VIK and Montes wineries tour with Ecotours, including lunch at Fuegos del Apalta and it was truly one of the best choices we made during our trip! The guides who accompanied us were absolutely amazing. Kind, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable, they enriched our experience from start to finish. Throughout the journey, they shared fascinating insights about Chilean culture, history, and everyday curiosities, always in a light and engaging way. It's clear they are passionate and well-educated professionals who love what they do. Thanks to them, the tour exceeded all our expectations and became one of the highlights of our trip. We highly recommend Ecotours their service truly made all the difference!

It was very worth seeing VIK and especially Montes, which exceeded our expectations. Despite the cost to go and go from Santiago, in addition to the distance - 3h and a half on average go and go and go in a private car with a driver - our feeling at the end was that it was very worth it!!! Exuberant landscapes, knowing these two wineries inside was special, and above all by the pleasant surprise of how we were welcomed in Montes, in addition to lunch in the middle of the vineyard at the Fuegos de Apalta Restaurant, which completed our experience. It was a pleasure to go back and spend a few days in this region of Chile!!
