Viña Santa Cruz

Lovely vineyard - beautiful views from the mountain down to the valley. Cable car brings you up, there is a quite an impressive collection of (surprise surprise), and info of Chilean tribes. Great restaurant as well, friendly staff, good wine. Perfect half day trip. You can make it a full day with the car and wine museums.

A must-see site in Santa Cruz. Get to know the museums, restaurants and everything the vineyard has to offer

Beautiful winery with high prices. There is a cable car, price per adult 19000 CLP, the price includes a glass of wine and entrance to the museums. It is really beautiful and worth a trip.

We took the Eno astronomical sunset tour, absolutely recommended, excellent service and various activities.

Beautiful views and lots of things to do, like visiting the wine and car museums, cable car, visiting the barrels

This place is beautiful. Stunning views of the valley while you eat. The food was delicious. The staff are friendly and helpful. We only came for a drink but stayed cause the food smelled so good and were pleased we did.

In general very good experience in the vineyard with the visit around the restaurant and the wine and automobile museums, I recommend stopping by this vineyard, yes or yes, they recommended us to have lunch somewhere else, not here, so I can't say anything about the restaurant, but I Everything else is beautiful and well kept and looked after, the people are very friendly, the automobile museum is spectacular, a lot of history!! There is also a souvenir shop.

Very touristy winery, more tourist attractions than wine quality

This is a winery where you can spend the whole day. In addition to the tour and tasting, there are two amazing museums. One is about cars (there is also a motorcycle section) that covers a good part of the history and the main manufacturers in bodies and a well-preserved interior. It is not possible to see the inside of the bodies, but right at the entrance, in addition to a very welcome glass of wine to drink during the visit, there is a cut-out car with internal details of how it works. The other museum was the one that caught my attention the most. It is about wine and has so many details that you could spend the whole day there. From the soil, fertilizers, different terrains, historical origins, grape varieties, barrel production (before and now), chemical analysis, tractors and machinery to harvest and treat the grapes, categorization of aromas (with little bottles so we can smell and perceive these aromas), history of famous Chilean winemakers, collection of corkscrews, magazines and brochures, bottles and labels. Whatever you have in mind, there will be a section on the subject, and often with a description of how it is made, as well as the history. I have never been to a museum on the subject that is so complete and well organized. And besides all this, there is also the tour, with several explanations and questions for visitors to interact with, such as how many types of grapes there are in Chile, or what the rose bushes in front of the plantations are for. The tasting is very calm while we walk through the corridors and the well-deserved wine rest room. A very positive point of the organization was to include short videos about each phase of the wine making process. This helps the guide to show us, for example, what the grape leaves look like in each season. Something that is impossible to see in person. And in addition to all this, there is also a cable car that takes us to the highest part of the winery, where there is an observatory (unfortunately closed), a llama and two more museums about the history of wines and the aborigines of Easter Island. And the megalomaniacal project of the owner, who also owns the best museum in the city, Aconchaga, is still ongoing. You can see more spaces being created. The place has a restaurant so you don't have to go out at lunchtime. We nibbled on a plate of cold cuts and cheeses, as well as some empanadas. Among the cheeses, surprisingly, there was a delicious spicy English cheddar. Oh, and you can take the last glass of the tasting back to the restaurant to finish. As a winery, this is a place that offers much, much more. I would definitely go back to spend another day and see how the place evolves. Just in time: the wines are not that expensive and the tour is reasonably priced, considering that it includes access to the museums.

certainly very touristy but well organised and gives an idea of Chilean viticulture so it is worth a visit

Excellent winery to visit. The building is beautiful and super charming. Even though the wines are not of the highest quality, it is the winery that offers the most complete tour. We chose the astronomical tour that costs 110,000 pesos per person. The tour started at 5 pm with a tour of the winery facilities (fermentation room, storage room). Then, we went up by cable car to the top of the highest hill of the winery, and there we had a sunset experience accompanied by sparkling rosé and a cold cuts platter and then dinner. After dinner we were able to observe the moon with the telescope, it was sensational! I highly recommend it!

Took the wine tour "los frescos de Lolol" including S. blanc, Rosé, País, Make-make and Gran Chaman, great experience tasting outstanding wines, also the restaurant is a great choice for lunch with a fantastic overview of the vines, later took the wine museum and car museum tour, all great, need resetvation and the complete experience took all day along but it worth every cent

Vina Santa Cruz is one of the most traditional wineries in the Colchaga Valley, with highly elaborate wines that can be tasted on the various tours offered at the winery. At the winery, you can also enjoy the beautiful view on a cable car ride, as well as two very interesting museums, the automobile museum and the wine museum. It is a must-see for anyone visiting the region. The only downside is the winery's restaurant, which leaves a lot to be desired and could have a more elaborate menu.
