Wine and Gourmet Tour to Chile and Argentina
Text: Wolfram Scherer
Car Rouge spoils lovers of fine food and culture again and again with exclusive tours. The wine tour in April 2025 to Chile and Argentina is a very special highlight. The 12-day tour leads to the most beautiful wine regions and great wineries – among them the Ojo de Agua Ranch of Yello musician Dieter Meier – but also to such exciting cities as Santiago de Chile and Buenos Aires.
The eventful gourmet tour begins in Santiago de Chile. Right here, travellers are met with plenty of culture and history, as well as the vibrant life of the South American metropolis. Excursions in the European luxury coach round off the three-day stay in the Chilean capital. They lead to the historic city of Valparaíso and the beautiful Maipo Valley, as well as to first-class wineries such as Viña Matetic and the legendary Concha y Toro.
Chilean Wine Gems in the Colchagua Valley
The Colchagua Valley south of Santiago is not only fascinating for its scenery, it is also considered one of Chile’s finest wine-growing regions. On the drive along the “Wine Route”, visits to established wineries are on the programme. On the onward journey and during the stay in the beautiful town of Santa Cruz, too, participants can look forward to tastings of outstanding wines from well-known terroirs such as Montes and Viu Manent.
Visiting Dieter Meier’s Ojo de Agua Ranch
The second part of the tour leads to Argentina. A short flight takes you to the fascinating city of Mendoza to explore its historic heritage. The highlight of the stay in Mendoza will be the visit to the famous Ojo de Agua winery of conceptual artist, writer and Yello musician Dieter Meier. Here travellers can look forward not only to a tasting of the finest wines. They are also guests for dinner at the ranch and will enjoy perhaps the best beef in the world.
The finale of this exclusive wine and gourmet tour will be the stay in Buenos Aires. Argentina’s cosmopolitan capital fascinates its visitors with parks, cafés, museums and markets. But also with a great zest for life and, of course, rousing tango.
Expert Wine Guides and Luxurious Hotels
On a wine tour in particular, expert tour guidance is essential. The tour through Chile and Argentina is accompanied by wine expert Christian Gfeller. The wine academic not only knows the characteristics of Argentina’s mature wine culture and of Chile’s, with its many novelties, he also happily shares his expertise on the history and stories of the regions and wineries with the travellers.
Car Rouge places great importance on ensuring that guests are also in the best of hands when they are not out and about. First-class hotels have been selected for the stays in each location. And in culinary terms, too, guests are treated to a high standard in first-class restaurants.
