Lazy afternoon by the pool
Great wine is even better when paired with great food, and this part of Chile is particularly blessed with wonderful ingredients. Today you take advantage of your host’s skills with the morning spent in a cooking class.

With much of the produce grown right here in the gardens, you will learn both Chilean and international techniques before tucking into your efforts. Lunch is accompanied by a couple of local wines, selected to pair with the seasonal dishes.

After a lunch like this, the afternoon is probably going to call for lazing by the pool. If you're feeling energetic, you could enjoy a walk or bike ride through the vines.
A nice touch is that your hosts will give you a little folder with all the recipes that you'll have enjoyed at the hotel. So when you're back home you can spend your days trying to recreate the delicious dishes you enjoyed down here.
