Chile's move toward cool-climate viticulture began 25 years ago when innovative winemakers dared to suggest planting in the pre-coastal Casablanca region. The valley is now world-famous for its technology and commitment to terroir, producing some of Chile's best white wines and cool-climate reds. The valley's cool coastal breeze makes the climate ideal for growing Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Syrah and Pinot Noir - and also for comfortable cycling.

Chile may cover thousands of miles and at least seven different climates from top to bottom, but you don't have to go far from any point to get a taste for its diversity. Within the aptly named Central Valley alone, the starkly contrasting elements of mountains, ocean, farmland, sprawling metropolis and historic urban charm all lay within a few hours journey of each other.
