Viña Santa Rita

Maipo Valley, Chile

Get whisked through Viña Santa Rita’s vineyards on a horse-drawn carriage, or propel yourself by pedal bar. Either way, assistance traversing the vivid 40-hectare estate is useful if you’re to catch the Renaissance flair of the Centenary Gardens, Neo-Gothic chapel, Roman baths and 3,000-odd cultural exhibits of the Museo Andino before lunch, which is served with a slice of history in the Doña Paula restaurant, built to shelter independence soldiers in 1818 and now named after one of the country’s most exalted patriots. Recover in the original manor house, now the 16-bedroomed boutique Hotel Casa Real, squeezing in poolside drinks or a game of billiards before dinner.
