Horseback Rides Santa Cruz, was the first trail ride available in Colchagua Valley and Santa Cruz. I am an US citizen living in this area. We begin with a short ride up a hill to a picnic bench area which has a lookout over Santa Cruz and Colchagua Valley. The ride lasts about 3 hours, and includes transportation, gloves with chaps, and wine and cheese while enjoying a breathtaking view. We have both english and spanish horsemen to assist the whole way.

This is a very exclusive activity performed at the one-of-a-kind Ninquen hill, in the heart of Colchagua Valley, where the MontGras premium vineyards are located. Ninquen mountain vineyard grants a 360° view to enjoy its extreme nature. Riding through the rough terrain of the hill, you get to a viewpoint and enjoy the breathtaking landscape of the valley. The tour guide provides the details about the area and how the grapes become a high quality wine. Tame horses and a wrangler are part of this adventure. The equipment will be ready for use. At the end, you have the opportunity to taste a premium wine produced with the grapes from the vines you have just seen.

We invite you to walk the vineyard and taste a good winemaker, to sit with a glass 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and to know how this wine is elaborated hidden between hills and valleys. Come and listen to the entertaining stories that surround this vineyard while accompanying your glass with delicious cheeses or if you prefer, with delicious recipes from our land.

The owners of this small winery gave our group of six friends a personal and memorable tour (with a fluent English interpreter) of their vineyard and winery, barrel and bottle tastings, and a wonderful lunch of delicious Chilean food, one of best winery experiences I have ever had. Their wine is superb. The winery is a little difficult to find, but well worth it!

This was a very relaxed and enjoyable morning viewing a vineyard on horseback with my partner and guide Rodrigo. The stories and explanations form Rodrigo about wine production and the history of the vineyard were very interesting. Rodrigo’s coaching and control of the horses also was expert. Both of us were novices though and we both enjoyed the experience greatly! Topping it off we went for a wine tasting and a very nice stake afterwards. All-in-all, a very good morning spent in Viu Manent Colchagua!!
