Bike and Wine Tour Santiago de Chile. Maipo Valley Tour

La Bicicleta Verde (http://www.labicicletaverde.com) have mapped out an awe-inspiring route through the valley, offering amazing vistas of the vineyards back-dropped with the majestic Andes. Youll be able to ride through the vineyards themselves, giving you a chance to inspect the vines and grapes up close.

We start in the morning biking through three vineyards and the small pueblos which the vineyards support. The three vineyards vary not only in the wine they produce but also in the background of their origin. We visit a rustic family-owned estate producing a wide variety of wine including Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere (thought to be extinct until its rediscovery in Chile in 1995); a contemporary vineyard, started by a wealthy Santiago family to produce high quality Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Syrah and Cot (Chiles version of the famous Argentine Malbec); and finally a third-generation Italian owned vineyard producing only 100% organic Cabernet Sauvignon.
