ICON Wine Tour & Lunch at Fuegos de Apalta from Vik Chile

Available exclusively to guests with a confirmed stay at Vik Chile.

This full-day tour covers three of Colchagua’s best wineries, with lunch in between. It starts at Clos Apalta, a gravity-flow winery known for its architecture and its 100-point wines.

Lunch is at Fuegos de Apalta, Francis Mallmann’s open-fire restaurant set in the Montes vineyards, where the cooking is built around fire and seasonal ingredients.

The day ends at Montes, tasting their top labels in the winery’s barrel room, where Gregorian chants play softly through the cellar.

Book before you arrive. In high season (October–March), the Apalta wineries have limited space and book up well ahead. We strongly recommend reserving this tour before you check in at Vik, so your preferred date and wineries are secured. Traveling with a travel agent? Have them arrange it as part of your Vik booking.

NOTE: This tour is available Tuesday through Sunday.
