With expertise in curated journeys to the Southern Cone global region between Argentina and Antarctica, U.S.-based Upscape (formerly Santiago Adventures) specializes in organizing authentic wine, culinary, ski and cycling tours to some of the planet’s most extraordinary locations. See for yourself on one of the new wine-based tours to Chile to explore boutique vineyards and cellars. Tours last between two and 10 days, with vineyard visits and lunches led by winemakers such as Renán Cancino of El Viejo Almacén, whose wines are not considered ready for the marketplace until town elders have given them approval.

Accommodations are in local inns and haciendas, including the lovely and historic Mingre Hacienda Hotel at Viña J. Bouchon, exclusive to Upscape guests. Itineraries include the Casablanca and Leyda valleys, where the country’s whites and Pinot Noirs are produced; and a tour of Viña Catrala that includes both a wine tasting and trek through nearby forests to view local wildlife. The many stops include Attilio & Mochi, a “garage” winery housed within a collection of shipping containers where bottles are labeled by hand; a tasting and private lunch at Viña Flaherty; a stop at Viña Polkura to taste cold-weather Syrahs; and a visit to Swiss-owned Viña Von Siebenthal to sample Syrah, Carménère and the award-winning Toknar. Tours wind up in Santiago with a visit to Vinomio, a new wine shop that specializes in small-batch Chilean gems.
