Undurraga Winery and Algarrobo: Wine, Penguins, and the Pacific
An irresistible combination for those who want to make the most of a day from Santiago: in the morning, the historic Undurraga Winery, one of Chile's oldest and most traditional, with its imposing historic cellars and wine tasting; in the afternoon, Algarrobo, Chile's charming nautical capital, with its Humboldt penguins and fresh seafood.
Undurraga Winery: Pioneer of Chilean Viticulture
Founded in 1885 by Don Francisco Undurraga, this is one of Chile's oldest wineries and among the first to export Chilean wine to the world. Located in Talagante, just 45 km from Santiago, the visit includes a tour through the legendary French park designed by a European landscape architect, the historic oak cellars, and a tasting of selected wines. The Portuguese-speaking guide provides context on Chile's wine history throughout the visit.
Algarrobo: Penguins and the Pacific Waterfront
After the winery visit, the group heads to Algarrobo — known as the nautical capital of Chile — for lunch overlooking the Pacific and to observe the Humboldt penguin colony that lives permanently on a small rocky island in the port. It is a scene of rare charm: wild penguins just meters from the urban waterfront.
Two Unique Destinations in One Day
The combination of wine tourism with coastal wildlife makes this tour unique and surprising. In the morning, wine aromas and oak barrels; in the afternoon, Pacific breeze and penguins. It is the kind of day that travelers remember for years.
