Playing Tourist: Matetic Vineyards


We went to our first vineyard (they're all over the area!):
 
 
On the way...
 


 
We found where shipping containers are staged...


 
GPS failed us and we took a slight detour...no signs, no people, nothing.

 
Finally back on track...vines spotted!

 
Getting really close now...
 
 
Woo-Hoo!




Yep. There's wine in those barrels.




Tours finish with a tasting.
A very generous tasting.
Very nice wine but hard to find here in Chile...90% is exported.
Luckily, there is a lot of good wine that IS easily available in Santiago.
 
Overall it was a nice day trip but there are vineyards that are much closer...we might stick to those in the future and skip all the time in the car.
