The Best Casablanca Valley Wineries to Visit

The Casablanca Valley wineries most worth a visit are Emiliana for organic and biodynamic farming, Casas del Bosque for its cool-climate whites and the Tanino restaurant, Bodegas RE for experimental wines made in clay, and Viñamar for sparkling wine. Casa del Molle, Indómita and Veramonte round out the list. They all sit within about 15 km of each other along Ruta 68, the highway from Santiago to Valparaíso, so a good tour can visit three or four in a day: Go2Chile’s boutique winery day and Best Trip Chile’s four-vineyard day both do.

What the Casablanca Valley is known for

Casablanca is a young wine region by Chilean standards. The first vines were planted in 1982, the first commercial Sauvignon Blanc followed later that decade, and the valley became an official wine denomination in 1994. Its reputation rests on the cold: morning fog rolls in from the Pacific, about 30 km away, and the afternoon sea breeze keeps the grapes cooler than in the valleys around Santiago. That suits Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay above all, plus Pinot Noir and, increasingly, cool-climate Syrah. If you want Chile’s famous big reds, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carménère, those come from the warmer Maipo and Colchagua valleys; in Casablanca, start with the whites.

The wineries, one by one

• Emiliana. Chile’s largest organic winery, on the north side of Ruta 68 at kilometre 60.7. Its organic tasting tour walks the vineyards, the vegetable garden and the biodynamic preparations area, with the farm animals that graze between the rows, and ends with four wines, two white and two red. Tours run Tuesday to Saturday at 10:30, 12:30 and 14:30, for up to 30 people; the standard organic tour costs CLP 42,990 a person and takes 1 hour 15 minutes (emiliana.cl, October 2026).
• Casas del Bosque. Founded in 1993 by the Cuneo Solari family in the Las Dichas sector, the westernmost and coolest part of the valley, closest to the ocean. Its Aromas Wine Tour walks the vineyard, the winery and the barrel room and pours four wines in about 50 minutes for CLP 38,000, and the Aromas tasting of four wines, about 30 minutes, costs CLP 27,000; both run daily, and weekend visits are booked by email (casasdelbosque.cl booking prices, October 2026). Tanino, the estate’s restaurant, is where most winery tours stop for lunch.
• Bodegas RE. A boutique winery known for unconventional blends and wines aged in clay vessels, with an underground cellar. Tours usually pour two or three wines with a board of cheese, olives and bread.
• Viñamar. Founded in 2002 and known for sparkling wine as well as still wines; the tours pour three.
• Casa del Molle. A small family estate making about 3,000 bottles a year, with farm animals and native woodland around the vines. The tasting is two handcrafted wines with a pairing board.
• Indómita. A hilltop winery just south of the highway, with its cellar built into the hillside and a restaurant.
• Veramonte. At the eastern entrance to the valley; Turistik’s vineyard, Valparaíso and Viña del Mar day stops here for its tasting.
• Kingston. At the western end of the valley, near Casas del Bosque.

One stop that appears on cheap tours is not on this list: Río Tinto is a wine shop and café on Ruta 68 that pours a welcome glass. It is a pleasant break, but it is not a winery visit.

Visiting the wineries on your own

You can, but plan for two things. First, transport: the intercity buses between Santiago and Valparaíso pass the town of Casablanca, but not the estates’ gates, and the wineries are spread along the highway and its side roads, so you need a taxi or a driver. Driving yourself and tasting do not mix. Second, bookings: both Emiliana and Casas del Bosque ask you to reserve, and Emiliana’s tours do not run on Sundays or Mondays. If you add up a taxi between three estates and their fees, a tour that includes the tastings is often the simpler and cheaper day. The price guide does that arithmetic.

Is Casablanca worth visiting?

Yes, if you like crisp white wine and pretty farmland, and especially if you are already going to Valparaíso, because the valley is on the way. It is not a wine town: Casablanca itself is a small agricultural town on the highway, and the interest is in the estates around it. For the Valparaíso half of the day, see Valparaíso and wine in one day.
