My Husband and I had a private tour of this beautiful vineyard. As someone who only drinks white wine in an area where they only make red wine it was really interesting to hear how both white and red wine is made and the difference. The Sauvignon blanc was very enjoyable and my Husband enjoyed the red wines. We would recommend a visit.

I was looking for a more individual wine tasting experience, found OWM online and can 1000% recommend!! It started with a very warm welcome by Antonio, he explained everything in detail and very entertaining from the area, the different grapes and the process of the 2 different fermentations. Later we tasted 7 “pure” wines of which afterwards we created our own blend. What a special experience! Thank you very much, Antonio and much further success with OWM!!

Vina Escondida de Colchagua

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!

Clos Apalta Lapostolle

Reviewed By 557jj

We visited this winery as part of our tour with Colchagua Wine Tours. We had a tour and tasting. The best thing about this winery are the views from the rooftop (make sure you stop at the rooftop after your tour to take some more photos without crowds) and the wine tasting room. The winery itself felt a bit corporate and did not have as much as a local history and connection to the community as some of the other wineries we visited. The wine was good and some of the reds were a bit on the dry side - still good wine, just making you aware. It's also a smaller winery.
