Picnic at Emiliana Winery´s Garderns

Like in the movies. Imagine yourself in a huge, lavish garden, framed by vineyards and the Andes mountain range as the backdrop. Now, picture yourself relaxing on a checkered tablecloth, with a basket filled with artisan bread, organic cheeses, a bottle of wine and water. Well, this is an organic picnic at Emiliana vineyards. It’s really a moment to register on your memory, camera, diary … so, if you were wondering how to celebrate that special date while on holiday in Chile, you have just found the answer, right? This activity costs CLP 30,000 and must be booked at least 1 day in advance. Also, be sure to follow up this most romantic moment with a walk or bike ride on the extensive grounds of the winery. Yeah! Wouldn´t that be amazing? A bike ride through the vineyards and olive trees, with mountains in the background, the local wildlife. Both the scenery and the feeling will leave you speechless!

How To Get There

You might have figured that there are dozens and dozens of tourist companies doing this kind of tour directly from Santiago. Many of them even pick you up at your hotel´s door. Obviously, such convenience has its price. However, if you prefer to get to any of the Casablanca Valley´s wineries on your own account, the first step is  just to take the metro towards Estación Central metro station. Estación Central, besides being a metro station is also a train station, from where you can easily access the busy San Borja Bus Terminal. At this terminal there are several small buses often leaving for Casablanca Valley. Due to these buses going through some little villages and towns and, therefore, frequently stop on the road to leave and collect passengers, this journey can last as long as nearly 2 hours! The cost?  Only CLP 3,000 per person. Now, we leave down to you to do the math and decide whether it´s worth it. It will definitely be an authentic South-America experience; but not recommended for the fussy traveler. Particularly because it does not end here! Unfortunately, the bus won´t be dropping you off at the winery; but, at the main square of the city where there is a taxicab stand. Here, make sure to clearly negotiate the taxi-fare before entering the vehicle. Taxi drivers in Chile, not so different from their fellows in most countries, are known for charging “a little” more, mainly to the tourists.
