In the heart of the Maipo Valley, the winery presents a world-class wine tourism venue that invites you to rediscover Casillero del Diablo through an immersive guided tour and an after dark experience that brings the legend back to life.
Pirque has added a new attraction to Chile’s tourist map with the opening of the Concha y Toro Centro del Vino, which brings together the company’s 140+ years of winemaking tradition with innovative offerings designed for aficionados of wine, history and Chilean culture. Within this exceptional setting, two experiences dedicated to Casillero del Diablo promise to become highlights of local wine tourism: the Centro del Vino guided tour and the Casillero del Diablo after dark experience.
Each of these meticulously crafted tours takes place within the Concha y Toro heritage park, surrounded by century-old vines and within view of the majestic Casa Don Melchor, an architectural icon that evokes the origins of both the winery and the modern era of Chilean wine.
A multisensory journey through the history of wine
The Centro del Vino’s guided tour is an immersive experience that combines history, art, technology and Concha y Toro’s best wines as visitors are led through different parts of the estate. The journey begins in the park and the grounds outside of Casa Don Melchor, then enters the Casillero del Diablo multisensory experience, an interactive exhibit that reveals the secrets of this emblematic brand, a benchmark of Chilean wine in more than 100 countries.
From there, visitors enter the historic Casillero del Diablo underground cellar, the epicentre of the legend that has captivated the world, and then proceed to the Alto Cellar, home to the winery’s premium wines. The tour also stops at the scenic lookout for a panoramic view of the Pirque Vineyard and the Varietal Garden, where the world’s leading wine grape varieties are cultivated.
To round out the experience, visitors arrive at the Plaza Concha y Toro, the heart of the Centro del Vino, where they can enjoy first-class food and wine at the Bodega 1883 Restaurant, the Gran Barra Wine Bar and numerous tasting areas. The tour wraps up at the Centro del Vino Wine Shop, where an exclusive selection of wines and related products are available for purchase.
The two-hour tour includes four glasses of premium wine and a complementary wine glass and can accommodate a maximum of 25 people per group.
An evening with the legend
For those looking for an even more enthralling time, the Casillero del Diablo after dark experience is a must. Under the starry sky of Pirque, the enigmatic “Don Isidro” guides visitors while recounting a tale in which history and mystery merge with the aromas and flavours of the wine.
The experience begins with a glass of sparkling wine and a walk through the gardens of the park and the grounds of Casa Don Melchor, followed by an exclusive tasting of four wines in the Casillero del Diablo line. The climax of the tour is a visit to the Casillero del Diablo underground cellar, where the legend comes to life in a captivating, awe-inspiring setting.
The tour wraps up with an elegant three-course dinner at Bodega 1883 Restaurant, thoughtfully paired with two glasses from Casillero del Diablo’s top wine lines. This 3-hour tour can accommodate a maximum of 25 people.
