My Tasting Experience was created to show you Valparaiso through its local food and wines. We will try products from bakeries, delicatessens, farmers' markets, and pastry shops, and pair them in our kitchen where we conduct cooking classes. We will also discuss a bit about the history, identity, and local traditions that have shaped the way we 'Porteños' live, and how foreign influence has been present at our table since the early 19th century. The experience consists of snack-size foods, known in Chile as 'picoteo', rather than elaborate dishes, with the intention of offering more variety. We will taste varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Chardonnay, Viognier, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Carmenere, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, and Syrah. I typically work with single varietals (not many blends, unless the food could benefit from that touch), and the wines are in the Reserva, Gran Reserva, and Premium ranges. The wines come from various regions, but they are all Chilean wines. Other things to note: If I am not personally available due to any last-minute issues, the tour will be led by one of my colleagues.

You'll also encounter local wildlife and learn about the rich geography and cultural history of the area. Whether you're a novice or an experienced rider, this tour is designed to accommodate all skill levels. You'll not only enjoy the beauty of the trails but also receive a lesson on riding techniques, safety tips, and how to confidently navigate up and down hills. To cap off our adventure, we'll relax back at the ranch with a glass of fine wine, cheese, and snacks. This is a wonderful opportunity to unwind and share stories with locals and fellow travelers. I'm also very flexible with scheduling, so feel free to reach out if you need to arrange a different time. I look forward to riding with you and sharing this incredible experience!

We will share with you a cooking class where you will learn the techniques and secrets of the famous Empanadas de Pino, a special recipe of our beloved grandmother.

We will cook the ingredients of the empanada, and we will teach you how to organize the elements to fill them, we will work the dough, cut it and make the classic shapes, then we will heat the oven to the right temperature and bake them until they are golden brown. We will also make the delicious pebre that accompanies them, and finally we will sit at the table to taste the traditional Chilean Empanada de Pino con Pebre. Ask me if you have any special needs, and we will see how we can adapt to you.

Discover the Valparaiso's local cuisine through its "picás" in the oldest quarter! Our meeting point starts at Sotomayor square where we will walk through Barrio Puerto, the historic center of the city and part of the UNESCO site of Valparaíso.

Each restaurant is a journey through time knowing the local life of the porteños, where workers and neighbors of the city are the hosts of these places, so we will know not only the history of Valparaíso, but also meeting places of fans of the local soccer team; Santiago Wanderers, or old sailor's bars where home-flavored food accompanied by traditional music such as boleros and cueca (local folklore music), are building the identity and popular culture of Valparaíso everyday. Finally, we'll go up to the viewpoint of the Cordillera hill on its ascensor (historical funicular) with a spectacular view of the city and Barrio Puerto.
