Ah, OK. That simplifies things.

Any recs on wine tasting? Should we do it as a day trip from Santiago or Valpo? Or spend a night there? Great food and wine are probably some of our top priorities for the trip. I've read about Chile's many wine regions and it sounds like Valle de Cachapoal has the best wines??? We love all wine varietals.
