Private Isla Negra, Pomaire & Maipo Valley Wine Experience

Discover Chile through literature, local traditions, and wine on this private full-day tour from Santiago to Isla Negra, Pomaire, and the Maipo Valley.

Begin your journey on the Pacific coast with a visit to the Pablo Neruda House Museum in Isla Negra, one of the poet’s most beloved homes. Explore its fascinating rooms filled with nautical objects, figureheads, maps, and personal collections gathered throughout his life. Overlooking the ocean, the house offers an intimate glimpse into Neruda’s world, inspirations, and distinctive personality. Admission to the museum is included.

Continue to Pomaire, a traditional Chilean village famous for its pottery and country-style cuisine. On arrival, enjoy time for lunch at one of the local restaurants (not included), where you can discover traditional Chilean flavors. Afterwards, stroll through the village, browse artisan workshops and small shops, and see the characteristic clay pottery that has made Pomaire famous.

In the afternoon, travel into the Maipo Valley for a guided wine tour at the historic Undurraga Winery. Walk through its gardens, vineyards, and cellars while learning about Chilean winemaking and the history of one of the country’s established wineries. Complete your visit with a guided tasting of selected Chilean wines.

With private transportation, hotel pickup and drop-off in Santiago, and a professional bilingual guide throughout the day, this experience brings together three distinctive sides of Chile at a relaxed pace: the literary legacy of Pablo Neruda, the rural traditions of Pomaire, and the celebrated wine culture of the Maipo Valley.
