Viña VIK

One of the best winery tours I’ve ever taken. Our guide (Pablo?, I think, I should have written it down) was very funny, informative and oozed with passion for wine and the process. It’s amazing to hear the efforts this vineyard is taking to make this wine 100% Chilean from every aspect. The location is stunning, even without the buildings. But the design of them is beautiful and creative to allow light all year round and help keep things cool from the water feature out front to being below ground.

We enjoyed the tour and the paired wine 6 courses meal. Ricardo was an amazing guide through the winery and for the tasting. Very unique wine! Distinctive! I hope we can get some shipped to Canada! The meal was memorable too, great food, with the vegetables also grown on the grounds. Ricardo, Tamara, Karine and the rest of the team, thank you for such a fantastic experience! This was the best wine tour we ever had!

We were greeted by Pablo, who already knew our names as soon as we walked through the door. From then on, the service was great, the explanations precise and the tour very leisurely. We got lucky that we had the place to ourselves - just the two of us and Pablo - who noticed that our tour was booked in English and separated us from the Spanish group. He even arranged a separate tasting, so the mixed languages wouldn't be an issue during our wine appreciation moment. The way the tasting itself is arranged is very educative: you take a moment to sip the wine before the aging process to get the raw characteristic of the grape and then the fully developed product. The wines are clear and strong, the result of cutting edge technology and attention to detail. We went to some wineries in the region (Rapel Valley, both in colchagua and cachapoal, besides Maipo Valley, San Antonio Valley and Casablanca Valley), but Vik was our favorite. I think Pablo made the biggest difference that day. Thank you for teaching us and being so attentive.

The hotel has an impressive hilltop location with stunning views in all directions. We enjoyed lots of delicious food and wine, with great options for vegetarians/pescatarians. The pool, gym, and yoga room were lovely, and included amazing views of the surrounding valley. I do think the hotel leans heavily on its "wow" factor, and would benefit from some improvements to service and room maintenance for an even better stay.

We came to Vik for a tour and tasting. Andrea took us around the building for the tour, and it was the best tour we had in South America (during our trip we went to Uruguay and Argentina and have toured many wineries during that time). She was insightful, fun and would explain more when she could see we were interested in a specific topic. The wines were also great and we will hopefully find a way to get some home to RSA with us!

Absolutely stunning winery with attention to detail and focus on sustainability. The location and architecture were amazing. We loved our wine tasting with an entertaining story teller guide. Highly recommend for the food and wines.

What a wonderful experience! Some people complained about the hours... The thing is, wine tasting in Chile is something you have to arrange in advance! Please email and/or call places to book a tour. Everything was so easy with Viña Vik and they were one of the only places open on January 1st. We had a great time and tasted incredible wine. We would have liked a full glass of wine at the end of the tour, but we understand that might not be possible. Thank you for the wonderful time!

The worst hostess and reception I could ever expect for a place that claims to be exclusive. We had an issue with our reservation and the solution was lazy and rude at the restaurant we almost lost our tour so big the wait for a table was. I am not sure if it worth the travel here.
