Last Saturday we went on a wine tour to Apaltagua winery. The tour was organized through Mundo de Vino and only cost $50 for transportation, wine tour, tasting, and lunch. Can't believe it! Apaltagua is located in Pirque (about an hour outside of Santiago) down the road from Concho y Torro winery.
We loaded the bus and off we went!

Ignacio
And an hour later we arrived! Ignacio, me, Eric, Ethel, Lina, Leni, and Sebastian.
The house on the property was built in 1800 and something...can't remember! They are in the process of converting it into a boutique hotel...maybe 2 or 3 rooms max!

The nature walk begins....please note we had no idea we would be going on one and flip flops were not a good choice!
