Almost anyone can swirl a glass and take a sip of vino (at least if you\u2019re over 18), but the Chilean wine-tasting experience offers so much more.\u00a0No longer just a stop-over city, Santiago<\/a> is a destination brimming with stunning vistas, eclectic cultural venues and, of course, lots of opportunities to taste wine.\u00a0From the thrill-seeker to the hipster, here\u2019s a few must-dos for the savviest of travelers:<\/p>\n

Also: 20 epic sunrises and sunsets<\/a><\/p>\n

Soar above the Casablanca Valley via helicopter
\n<\/strong>The adventure starts at Loma Larga Vineyards, a winery that sets the bar for quality cool-climate reds, including exceptional Malbec and Syrah. Climb into a helicopter with the vineyard owner and prepare for aerial views that will take your breath away.<\/p>\n

\"Biking

Take a leisurely bike tour to the Matetic Vineyards
\n<\/strong>Pedal through the quaint village of Lagunillas and gently climb through the foothills and farmlands of the Rosario Valley. Explore the Matetic Vineyards then escape for a romantic meal for two at El Sauce.<\/p>\n

\"Clos

Explore the stunning architecture at the Clos Apalta Winery
\n<\/strong>An impressively engineered structure, the six-story (four of which are buried into the granite of the Apalta hillside) winery showcases a rare vertical design, allowing the iconic Lapostolle wine to flow naturally downward during each stage of its production. Even the elliptic-shaped fermentation room and two-barrel cellars feature unique design elements.<\/p>\n

\"orbitz_wine
\nTour a family-owned, independent winery off the beaten path<\/strong>
\nBreak free from the traditional wine-tasting experience and explore a MOVI (Movimiento de Vi\u00f1ateros Independientes) winery like Kingston Family Vineyards in the Casablanca Valley. This family-owned, independent winery only uses 10 percent of the grapes planted, concentrating completely on quality over quantity.<\/p>\n

\"Photo

Dine at one of the highest-rated restaurants in Chile
\n<\/strong>Nosh on a 15-course meal paired with boutique and organic wines at Borag\u00f3 Restaurant. Not only is Chef Rodolfo Guzman a Chilean native with a strong dedication to natural Chilean cooking techniques, and indigenous ingredients like shellfish, mushrooms and highland flowers, but he also ranks as the #1 chef in the entire country,<\/p>\n

\"Trek

Trek along the San Francisco Glacier<\/strong>
\nStart the journey with wine tasting at Vi\u00f1a Haras de Pirque in the Maipo Valley, before settling in for the night at Lodge Andino<\/a>. You\u2019ll want your beauty rest because the next day, you\u2019ll\u00a0be\u00a0hiking up a trail through the dramatic peaks of El Morado National Park. Finish the journey with a picnic, followed by a soak in the natural hot springs of Ba\u00f1os Colina.<\/p>\n

\"Wine

Visit a trendy wine bar in\u00a0Santiago<\/strong>
\nOne of the capital city\u2019s most famous places to enjoy the best Chilean wines, Bocanariz is located in the charming Lastarria neighborhood. Kick back in a comfortable urban setting and taste your way through seasonal varieties \u2014 either individually or in flights.<\/p>\n
