What is Casablanca Valley Known For?

The Casablanca Valley sits on Ruta 68 halfway between Santiago and Valparaíso, where morning fog off the Pacific keeps the vineyards cool. That makes it Chile's leading valley for white wine, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, along with Pinot Noir. Wineries with their own restaurants line the highway and its side roads, with small hotels and wine lodges among the vines.

About This Area

How Do You Plan a Day of Tastings in Casablanca?

Book ahead
Most wineries run tastings at set times
Layout
Estates spread along Ruta 68 and its side roads
Lunch
Several wineries run their own restaurants
Driving
Chile's limit is near zero, so bring a driver

Planning your tastings

Two or three wineries make a comfortable day, with lunch at one of the estates that run their own restaurants. Book tastings ahead, since many run at set times and smaller producers may only open by appointment. The estates are spread along Ruta 68 and its side roads, and Chile enforces a near-zero drink-driving limit, so take a tour, book a driver or choose someone to stay sober.
