Emiliana is the first winery that we visited. It's in the Casablanca Valley
which is between Valparaiso and Santiago,
so the climate has some ocean influence.
Doesn't this look like California?
Taken from the car along the freeway to Santiago.
We also went to Santa Rita which south east of Santiago.
Santa Rita has a fantastic Chilean and Peruvian archeology museum. The archeology museum in Santiago was closed because of earthquake damage so we were glad to be able to visit this one.
This arcade is where you taste their wines.
Your view while tasting is of the gardens in the photos below. Lovely spot.
We ate lunch at a country restaurant with bottles in the walls.
Then we toured Vina Aquitania, run by one Chilean and 3 French winemakers.
View from Aquitania's tower back to smoggy Santiago.
View towards the Andean foothills
The tasting room and office
They were bottling the day we were there.
Mercado central in Santiago
The Chilean version of Pike Place Market???
The old train station - the inside looks like the supports for the Eiffel Tower.
Catedral Metropolitan
On the Plaza de las Armas
The oldest building in Santiago (I think)
Palacio de la Moneda, the presidential palace
