This tour is available only to guests whose cruise begins in San Antonio and who are staying at the Sheraton Santiago Hotel and Convention Center the night before embarkation.
Begin your journey from the Sheraton Santiago Hotel and make your way toward the ship in Valparaiso, combining a panoramic introduction to Chile’s capital with a visit to the renowned Casablanca Valley wine region.
Depart the hotel for an approximately 90-minute panoramic sightseeing drive through Santiago. From the comfort of your motorcoach, discover the contrast between the city’s historic architecture and modern neighborhoods as your guide introduces you to Chile’s vibrant capital. See notable city landmarks along the way, including the presidential palace and the historic Plaza de Armas area.
Leaving Santiago behind, settle in for the approximately one-hour drive to the Casablanca Valley, one of Chile’s celebrated wine-producing regions.
Upon arrival at a local winery, enjoy approximately one hour exploring the winery and learning about the winemaking process. Your visit includes a tasting of selected wines, providing an opportunity to sample some of the flavors produced in the Casablanca Valley.
Following your winery experience, reboard your motorcoach for the approximately one-hour drive to the cruise terminal, where you will join the ship.
