“Our trip through Chile and Argentina with you was truly memorable. You’ve done a great job at establishing relationships in the wine industry as well as the hospitality industry – and it all shows in the finished product that was our trip. We thoroughly enjoyed everywhere we went, the first class establishments where we stayed, and the experience of the whole trip (not to mention all we ate and drank!). We’ve been a lot of places and on a lot of trips – this truly will be remembered as one of our more fun experiences as well as a great educational experience in the Chilean/Argentine wine industry – and our now much better understanding of wine as well as the industry. Thanks.”

Itinerary
“Popular” Santiago, just north of the downtown, is a myriad of eclectic turn-of-the-century architecture and colorful facades; local characters; and vibrant fresh markets where this culture throbs. Jump in and get a taste of the Santiago’s rich culinary history with Liz Caskey as your personal host.Set off first to explore the labyrinth of stands at Santiago’s sprawling wholesale market dating back to the late 1800s. A picturesque mishmash of stalls, vendors hawk the freshest seasonal fruits and vegetables, local cheeses, a plethora of meats, mounds of spices, and indigenous foodstuffs like pine nuts from the Araucaria tree or smoked (chili) merkén. Shop with Liz and select the über fresh produce from her caseros that become the components of lunch.
Wander into the maze of picadas, joints, and pull up a stool with Carmen, a talented old school cook. Carmen’s eatery pumps out Chilean classics like sweet corn tamales, steaming stews, and avocado-laden sandwiches. Sample some of these delicious treats for a satisfying late morning snack.
Cross the rushing Mapocho river to the fish market. Visit our favorite monger and select straight-from-the-sea-fresh fish or tender machas (razor clams) for lunch. Watch the show while expert hands perfectly fillet and shuck our order. A couple more stops at a cheese shop to pick up some goat cheese; and then a little artisan ice cream. Arrive at Liz’s spacious private apartment overlooking Santiago’s Parque Forestal.
Relax and make yourself at home. Sip some of our favorite sparkling wine and nosh on appetizers while the group prepares an exquisite three-course lunch. Dishes are inspired from authentic recipes, regional cooking techniques, and the fantastic ingredients. A selection of premium wines complements each course. Feel like you are in the company of a friend sharing the insider foodie experience in Santiago—you are. Salud!
